The Spin Wheel is a gamified prize wheel. Visitors click to spin and win a discount, free shipping, or another prize based on odds you control. You set 4 to 8 segments, each with its own win chance, color, prize message, and coupon code. It can save what each visitor won to their Personyze profile so you can target them afterward, and it celebrates wins with confetti. Placement is set in the action’s Location step.

When to use it

  • Email-free promos — reward visitors with a spin-to-win discount without a form.
  • Gamified engagement — a playful way to hand out coupons and lift conversion.
  • Segmented offers — give different prizes at different odds, and target later by what they won.

The wheel has no email capture by design. If you need to collect an email or run a countdown, use a dedicated action type for those — they report differently.

Add it to an action

In a Popup action, choose Spin Wheel. Set the preset and spin behavior, then fill in the segments. Segments 1–4 are always on; turn on Segments 5–8 in their sections for up to eight.

Inline or full-page

The Display Mode setting (in Style) controls how the wheel appears. inline embeds it as a normal block in the page, so it can sit alongside your content. fullpage centers the wheel on a dimmed full-screen overlay, like a classic popup takeover. Everything else — segments, odds, and behavior — works the same in both modes.

Setting up segments & odds

Each segment has a Label (shown on the wheel), a Win Chance, a Color, a Prize Message (shown when it lands there), and a Coupon Code. The Win Chance is a relative weight — all weights are added up to work out the odds. For example, weights of 30, 20, 30, and 20 give odds of 30%, 20%, 30%, and 20%. A segment with a higher weight is more likely to win.

To add a “no prize” slice, give a segment a label like Try Again and leave its Coupon Code blank — segments without a code count as losing slices.

Spin behavior

The Tries Mode setting controls how many times a visitor can spin:

  • single — one spin, then the result is locked.
  • retry — the visitor re-spins only if they land on a losing slice (one with no coupon code), until they win something.
  • multi — a fixed number of spins (set Max Spins).

You can also set the Spin Duration, turn on a Tick Sound while spinning, and Auto-close the popup a few seconds after a win.

Winning & the coupon

When the wheel stops, the pointer lands on the winning segment and its prize message appears. If the segment has a coupon code, it’s shown and copied to the clipboard automatically (visitors can also click it to copy). A win triggers the celebration you choose — confetti or a glowing prize — and an optional call-to-action button.

Saving the result for targeting

In the Save Result to Profile section, pick a Prize Field (and optionally a Coupon Field) from the dropdown. When a visitor wins, the winning label and code are written to those profile fields, so you can build audiences around what people won — for example, follow up with everyone who won free shipping, or exclude visitors who already claimed a prize. The fields must already exist in your profile schema; see User Profile Data Setup and Synchronizing in Personyze.

Settings

  • Preset — dark, light, or brand.
  • Display Mode — inline (embedded in the page) or fullpage (centered on a dimmed overlay).
  • Size — compact, default, or spacious.
  • Win Celebration — confetti, glow, or none (only plays on a real win).
  • Tries Mode / Max Spins / Spin Duration / Auto-close / Tick Sound — in Spin Behavior.
  • Text — eyebrow, title, and subtext.
  • Button — optional call-to-action shown after a win.
  • Close Button — the standard Personyze close button, editable, with always or hover visibility.

Tips

  • Keep segment labels short so they fit on the wheel — a few characters read best.
  • Use weights to make big prizes rare and small prizes common; a losing slice adds suspense.
  • Create the profile fields first if you want to save and target on results.
  • Set the field type to text when saving the prize label.
