Spin-the-wheel live · more on the way

Turn any popup into a game your visitors actually want to play.

Spin-the-wheel today — pick-a-gift, scratch card and reel of coupons on the way. Same builder, same templates, same data, and 3× the conversion of any static form. Gamification on every plan, with weighted prize odds, fraud protection and mobile haptics out of the box.

// Why gamification actually works

It's not the wheel.
It's the three things under it.

Strip out the confetti and the brand-colored slices, and there are three psychological levers doing the lifting. Spin wheels are the cleanest way to pull all three at once — but the principles apply to every game in woohoo.

01

Variable reward.

The discount on a fixed popup ("Get 10% off!") has a known payoff. The discount on a wheel doesn't — you might land on 40%, you might land on "try again." Behavioural economics has been calling this variable ratio reinforcement since the 1950s; product people have been calling it the slot-machine effect since 2015. Both are right.

// Skinner, 1957 · Hooked, Eyal 2014
02

Earned outcome.

A coupon that arrives in your inbox feels like an ad. A coupon you got by spinning a wheel feels like something you won. The IKEA effect — we value what we contributed to — kicks in around the second click. Users who spin are 2.4× more likely to redeem the resulting code than users who receive an identical code by email.

// Norton, Mochon & Ariely, 2012
03

Sunk-cost commitment.

Once a visitor types an email and clicks "spin," they have made a small but real investment. Closing the popup now means losing the wheel without seeing the result — which feels worse than it should. This is the same mechanic that keeps people on hold for 45 minutes after the first 10.

// The games

Four mechanics.
One live, three on the way.

Spin-the-wheel ships today; pick-a-gift, scratch card and reel of coupons are in build. Same builder, same data, same plan when they land — each with a default template that bakes in our cohort's best-performing settings.

// Game 01

Spin-the-wheel.

The highest-converting popup we've ever shipped. Weighted prize odds you control, anti-cheat that's actually airtight, mobile haptics that add 11% to conversion. The carnival mechanic, done seriously.

Scratch card.

The most tactile popup. A mouse drag (or touch swipe on mobile) reveals the prize underneath — the swipe feels native and the reveal is satisfying. In build now, landing on every plan.
