What is a spin-to-win popup?
A spin-to-win popup (also called a "spin the wheel" or "wheel of fortune" popup) shows visitors a prize wheel. They enter their email address, spin, and win one of the rewards on the wheel, such as a percentage discount, free shipping or a gift. The reward is shown instantly as a code they can use at checkout.
Compared with a standard "join our newsletter" form, the wheel adds curiosity and a sense of chance, which gives visitors a clear reason to share their email.
How to set prizes and odds
- Decide your budget first. Work out the average discount you are willing to give per new subscriber and set weights so the expected reward matches it.
- Use 6 to 8 slices. Enough variety to feel exciting, few enough to read on a phone.
- Include a "try again" slice with a small weight so wins feel genuine.
- Cap big prizes. Give the 20% slice a low weight and a maximum number of winners.
- Decide the winner on the server. Wheels that pick the prize in the browser can be manipulated; SpinConvert always chooses on our servers.
Timing, targeting and frequency
Show the wheel when visitors have had a moment to browse: after a short delay, on scroll or on exit intent. Hide it on checkout pages, and limit how often it appears so returning visitors are not interrupted. Visitors who already spun should not see it pop up again.
Measure what matters
Track the full funnel: impressions, wheel opens, spins, leads captured and rewards redeemed. If many people open the wheel but few spin, shorten the headline or improve the top prize. If many people win but few redeem, check that codes are easy to copy and clearly explained.
SpinConvert reports these numbers for every campaign. It does not claim to measure sales unless reliable order data is available.
Frequently asked questions
Do spin-to-win popups annoy visitors?
They can if they appear instantly on every page. Use a short delay or exit intent, limit the frequency and never show the wheel again to someone who already spun.
Are spin-to-win popups legal?
Promotions are regulated differently by country. Make the rules clear, honour every reward and collect marketing consent. Check local rules for prize promotions where you sell.
What prizes work best?
A mix of percentage discounts, free shipping and a small gift usually works well. Lead with your best prize in the headline.
Can I run more than one wheel?
Yes. On the Growth plan you can run up to five campaigns at once, for example different wheels for different collections or seasons.
