Why can’t I spin my Raffle Wheel or Prize Wheel?

This article answers the questions: Why can’t I spin my wheel? Why is my raffle or prize wheel not working?

Updated today

Quick Answer

If your Raffle Wheel or Prize Wheel will not spin, it usually means one of three things:

  • You have run Out of Names (Raffle Wheel)

  • You have run Out of Prizes (Prize Wheel)

  • Your Result Set is Offline (End of Game)

Each message tells you exactly what needs to be fixed.


If You See: “Out of Names”

What It Means

Your Raffle Wheel has selected all available names. There are no more entries left to draw from.

This typically happens when:

  • Everyone has already been drawn

  • No new participants have entered

  • You are using a standalone raffle drawing and all names have been selected


How to Fix It

You need additional entries in your Name List.

Option 1: Add More Participants

  1. Go to your Raffle Wheel dashboard.

  2. Click the Name List tab.

  3. Add more names manually or allow more people to enter your raffle.

  4. Return to the wheel and spin again.

Option 2: Start a New Result Set (Optional)
If you want to reuse the same names:

  1. Go to the Name List tab.

  2. Locate your current Result Set.

  3. Turn the current Result Set to Offline.

  4. Create or activate a new Result Set.


What Happens Next

Once new names are added, the wheel will immediately be able to spin again. Names can be added in real time during your event.


If You See: “Out of Prizes”

What It Means

Your Prize Wheel inventory has reached zero. All available prizes have been claimed.


How to Fix It

You must increase your prize inventory.

  1. Go to your Prize Wheel dashboard.

  2. Click the Inventory tab.

  3. Locate the prize that shows zero quantity.

  4. Increase the inventory amount.

  5. Save your changes.

You can increase inventory during live gameplay.


What Happens Next

As soon as inventory is added, the wheel becomes available to spin again.


If You See the “End of Game” Message

What It Means

Your Result Set is set to Offline.

When all Result Sets are offline, the system displays an End of Game message and prevents spinning.

You will see this inside:

Game Results

  • Status column shows Offline (red button)

How to Fix It

You must turn at least one Result Set to Live.

  1. Go to your game dashboard.

  2. Open:

    • Name List (Raffle Wheel), or

    • Inventory (Prize Wheel)

  3. Locate the Game Results section.

  4. Find a Result Set that shows a red Offline button.

  5. Click the red Offline button.

  6. It will turn green and display Live.

Your wheel is now active.


What Happens Next

Once a Result Set is set to Live, players can immediately spin again.

You can switch Result Sets during your event if needed.


Why This Happens

Most “wheel not spinning” issues are caused by:

  • All names already selected

  • All prizes claimed

  • Result Set accidentally switched to Offline

The system stops spinning automatically when there is nothing left to award or draw.


Common Questions

Can I add names while the raffle is running?

Yes. Names can be added in real time.

Can I add more prizes during gameplay?

Yes. Inventory can be increased at any time.

Do I need to restart the game after fixing this?

No. The wheel becomes active immediately after:

  • Adding names

  • Adding prizes

  • Turning a Result Set to Live
