// Why spin wheels convertThree psychology levers,
Three psychology levers,
doing all the real work.
Wheels don't convert because users like wheels. They convert because of three mechanics underneath. Full walkthrough at /games.
// 01 — Variable reward
Unknown payoff beats known.
A fixed "10% off" popup has a known reward. The wheel's reward isn't — you might land on 40%, you might land on "try again." Variable-ratio reinforcement is the most powerful schedule in behavioural psychology. It's why slot machines exist.
// 02 — Earned outcome
Won beats given.
A coupon by email feels like an ad. A coupon you spun for feels like something you won. Users who spin are 2.4× more likely to redeem the resulting code than users who receive the same code by email.
// 03 — Sunk commitment
Mid-flow beats upfront.
Once a visitor types an email and clicks "spin," closing the popup means losing the result they're now invested in. The micro-commitment ladder is the unsung hero — the email becomes a side effect, not the ask.

// Anti-gaming protectionThe wheel looks random.
The wheel looks random.
The math behind it isn't.
Every safeguard we ship to stop visitors gaming the wheel for the jackpot. The defaults are airtight; you can dial them up or down per campaign.
⚖
Weighted prize odds.
The 40% slice looks 1/8 of the wheel. Visually that's true. The actual probability is whatever you set — 0.5%, 2%, 10%. We default to 0.5% on the big prize. The wheel still spins fairly; the math is just yours to tune.
⌖
Email validation before spin.
The default flow asks for the email before the wheel spins — not after. This single change cuts fake emails by 73% and tightens fraud detection on the back-end.
⊘
Cookie-based attempt limit.
One spin per visitor per session, by default. Clearing cookies doesn't reset it — we fingerprint browser, IP, and ESP-side email collision.
⊕
IP rate limiting.
More than three spins from one IP in an hour and the wheel quietly stops awarding the big prize. Most cheaters never realize they've been ratelimited.
✉
Disposable email blocking.
1,200+ disposable-email domains blocked by default. Custom block-list per account. Visitors who use a disposable address get a "try again" outcome.
∮
Frequency cap, per visitor.
Default: 14 days between spins for the same visitor. Stores that ignore this and show the wheel every session lose 60% of the conversion lift.

woohoo is a popup platform with a wheel.
An honest side-by-side. We've shipped from Wheelio more migrations than any other tool — the gap is mostly that Wheelio stops at the spin.

Spin-the-wheel questions, answered.
If something isn't here, ping support@getwoohoo.com — we answer in under an hour.
Does the wheel actually pay out the big prize?+
Whatever odds you set. The default ships with the big prize at 0.5% — about 1 in 200 spins. That is enough to make the prize feel real without giving away the store. You can dial it up to 5% or down to 0% per campaign.
What happens when someone clears their cookies and tries again?+
We fingerprint by browser, IP, and ESP-side email collision. Clearing cookies resets the front-end attempt counter, but the back-end will recognize the same visitor and quietly stop awarding the big prize.
Will the wheel slow down my site?+
No. The script loads asynchronously, is under 10KB gzipped, and renders the wheel client-side using SVG. Lighthouse scores stay green. We measure this in CI on every release.
Can I use the wheel on a non-Shopify site?+
Yes — woohoo works on any site (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, custom). Wheelio is Shopify-only; we are not.
How do I migrate from Wheelio?+
We have a 15-minute migration guide. Export your Wheelio subscriber list, import to your ESP, install woohoo, pick the closest template, point the trigger. Most teams switch over a Sunday afternoon.
Does the spin-wheel work on mobile?+
Better than desktop, actually. Mobile wheel CVR is 14.1% in our cohort vs 12.8% on desktop. The wheel needs to be at least 280px wide on mobile; iOS gets haptic feedback per slice tick, which adds ~11% to conversion.
Can I run the wheel only during BFCM?+
Yes. Every campaign has a calendar — set start and end dates, and it will go live and stop automatically. Most stores schedule BFCM campaigns in July and do not touch them again.
