What is a digital prize wheel and how does it work?
A digital prize wheel is an interactive marketing tool that brings the excitement of a physical spin wheel to your website, mobile campaigns, in-store kiosks, or events. Brands use prize wheels to engage customers, reward loyalty, and encourage repeat visits by letting users spin to win instant prizes, discounts, or exclusive offers.
Unlike traditional paper-based games, a digital prize wheel, such as those offered by Coupontools, is cloud-based and customizable—no app or hardware required. Users simply spin a virtual wheel online or via a link. Prizes can be distributed instantly and securely, thanks to unique coupon codes and single-use redemption technology.
