How to Use the Wheel Of Luck Widget
The Wheel Of Luck is a customizable spinning wheel for random selections, prizes, or audience engagement games. Unlike the GiveAway widget (which picks from comment participants), the Wheel Of Luck uses your own custom list of items.
When to Use
- Random prize selection from a predefined list
- Making random decisions on stream (“What game should we play next?”)
- Audience engagement games
- Elimination-style tournaments (with Remove Winner feature)
