Quick Answer

Before launching your Prize Wheel or Raffle Wheel, create a separate Test Result Set, verify your branding and lead form settings, test spins or entries using the live link, and confirm inventory behavior. When you’re ready, switch to a new Result Set for your real event and turn it Live from the Inventory page.

When Should I Use This Article?

Use this checklist if:

You are launching a Prize Wheel or Raffle Wheel at an event.
You want to test spins without affecting your real inventory.
You need to confirm branding, forms, kiosk mode, or QR codes.
You want to prevent mistakes before going live.

Step 1: Get Ready to Test

Before spinning or collecting entries, confirm your setup.

1. Create a Test Result Set

All spins deduct inventory from the active Result Set.

💡 Best Practice:
Name your test set clearly so you can easily switch between testing/training and your live event.

Go to Prize Manager → <Game Name> → Manage
Click Inventory
Click Add
Enter a name (Recommended: Booth Staff Training or Test)
Click Save

To Copy an Existing Result Set

Go to Prize Manager → <Game Name> → Manage
Click Inventory
Click Add
Enter a name
Choose:
- Starting Inventory Values (resets to original inventory)
- Remaining Inventory Values (copies current counts)
Click Copy

2. Confirm Your Branding

💡 Big Button Mode can be enabled:

Prize Wheel → Edit → Game Setup by toggling Big Button Mode On

Step 2: Test Your Wheel

Open Your Live Link

Go to Prize Manager → <Game Name> → Manage → Links
Open your Prize Wheel or Raffle Wheel link in a browser

Complete the lead form (if enabled)

Remember:
All spins deduct inventory from the active Result Set.

Test Entries (Raffle Wheel)

Submit entries through your live link

Verify names appear in the drawing list

Step 3: Things to Check During Testing

Confirm the following:

Lead Form

Correct field labels
Required fields working
Colors and branding correct
Terms & Conditions display correctly

Prize Display

Slice order correct
Colors match your design

Test your game exactly how participants will use it.

Scan the QR code
Try it on the actual tablet

Step 5: Get Ready to Go Live

When testing is complete:

1. Create a New Event Result Set

Repeat the steps in Step 1 and name it clearly (Example: 2026 Trade Show).

2. Populate the Correct Inventory

Confirm all prize quantities are accurate.

3. Activate the Result Set

Go to Prize Manager → <Game Name> → Manage → Inventory
Find your event Result Set
Click the red Offline button
It will turn green and display Live

Your game is now officially live!

What Happens Next?

Spins will deduct inventory from the active Live Result Set.
When inventory reaches zero, that prize can no longer be won.
You can monitor remaining inventory in:
Prize Manager → <Game Name> → Manage → Inventory

You can switch Result Sets at any time by toggling which one is Live.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Testing in Your Live Result Set

Always create a separate Test Result Set.

❌ Forgetting to Switch Result Sets

Before launch, confirm the correct Result Set is marked Live.

❌ Not Testing on the Actual Device

WiFi restrictions, pop-up blockers, or screen resolution issues can appear only on real hardware.

❌ Not Enabling Kiosk Mode for Shared Devices

Without Kiosk Mode, the form may not reset between users.

❌ Forgetting Big Button Mode for Large Screens

Big Button Mode improves usability on large displays and event setups.

Troubleshooting

My inventory decreased during testing.

This is expected. All spins deduct inventory from the active Result Set. Create a separate Test Result Set to avoid affecting live inventory.

My wheel isn’t spinning.
