TikTok Wheel of Actions
The Wheel of Actions spins when a viewer sends a gift, and whatever it lands on happens. You write the segments — a dare, a song, a voice change, a scene swap — and the gift buys the spin. It converts a gift from a thank-you into a purchase with an outcome, which is a much easier thing to ask for.

What is the Wheel of Actions?
The Wheel of Actions is an overlay showing a spinning wheel divided into segments you define. A gift triggers a spin, the wheel lands on a segment, and that segment fires an action on your stream — anything from a sound effect to an OBS scene change to a dare you have to do on camera.
It differs from a plain spin-the-wheel graphic in that the result is wired to something. The wheel does not just display a word; it triggers the action attached to that segment. That connection is what makes viewers believe the outcome is real rather than you reading off a picture and choosing what to honour.
The mechanic works because of variance. A leaderboard rewards the biggest gifter, which is a race most viewers know they cannot win. A wheel gives everyone who spins the same shot at the best outcome, so a small gift is worth sending. It is the most effective format for pulling in the long tail of an audience rather than the top three spenders.
What a segment can do
Segments fire the same actions as the rest of the Actions & Events engine, so a spin can trigger anything you have already set up.
Play a Sound
The simplest and most reliable segment. An airhorn, a clip, a sting — instant, unambiguous feedback.
Change an OBS Scene
Swap scene or toggle a source, so the wheel can visibly rearrange your stream layout.
Speak Something
Have the result read aloud, or make the segment itself a spoken message from the spinner.
Move a Goal
A segment that adds to a goal bar or extends a subathon timer, so a spin can change the stream's stakes.
Fire a Dare
Display a challenge on screen that you then have to do. The segment everyone actually wants to hit.
Trigger a Webhook
Fire an outbound webhook so a spin can drive lights, a game, or anything else you have wired up.
Ten wheel themes ship with it — aurora glass, candy pop, classic, dark arcade, emerald luxe, minimal mono, neon cyber, retro pixel, royal gold and sunset gradient. See them on the spin overlay page.
How to set up a gift-triggered wheel
Build the wheel once, then leave it running all stream.
- 1
Connect your TikTok username
Sign up free and connect the account you go live with, so the wheel receives your gift events.
- 2
Write your segments
Add each outcome and attach an action to it — a sound, a scene change, a spoken line, a dare on screen. Start with six to eight segments.
- 3
Choose what buys a spin
Pick which gift triggers a spin, or set a coin value. Higher-value gifts can be worth multiple spins.
- 4
Weight the odds
Set how likely each segment is. Keep the best outcome rare enough to be worth chasing but common enough that people believe it lands.
- 5
Add the overlay and go live
Paste the wheel URL into OBS as a Browser Source, or a Web layer in TikTok LIVE Studio. The next qualifying gift spins it.
Segment actions come from the Actions & Events engine, so anything you can trigger there can be a wheel outcome.
Building a wheel people want to spin
A wheel that nobody spins twice usually got one of these wrong:
- ✓Six to eight segments — more and nobody can read it
- ✓No dead segments; every outcome does something
- ✓The best outcome rare but visibly reachable
- ✓A spin price low enough for casual viewers
- ✓Results honoured on camera, every time
- ✓Segments rotated between streams so it stays fresh
The one that actually kills a wheel is a "nothing happens" segment. A viewer who paid for a spin and got nothing does not spin again. Make the worst outcome small rather than empty — and if you want the higher-stakes version where gifts buy entries into a single draw, that is Spin Royale.
TikTok Wheel of Actions: FAQ
What is the TikTok Wheel of Actions?
The Wheel of Actions is a TikTok LIVE overlay showing a spinning wheel with segments you define. A viewer's gift triggers a spin, and whatever the wheel lands on fires a real action on your stream — a sound, an OBS scene change, a spoken message, or a dare displayed on screen.
How do I add a spin wheel to TikTok LIVE?
Connect your TikTok username in BetterTok, write your segments and attach an action to each, choose which gift or coin value buys a spin, then add the wheel overlay URL to OBS as a Browser Source or TikTok LIVE Studio as a Web layer.
Can I control the odds of each segment?
Yes. Each segment has its own weighting, so you can make a rare outcome genuinely rare while keeping the common ones frequent. Keep the best result reachable enough that viewers believe it lands, or they stop spinning.
What can a wheel segment actually do?
Segments use the same Actions & Events engine as the rest of BetterTok, so a spin can play a sound, change an OBS scene or source, trigger text-to-speech, move a goal bar, extend a timer, display a dare, or fire an outbound webhook to whatever else you have wired up.
How many wheel themes are there?
Ten: aurora glass, candy pop, classic, dark arcade, emerald luxe, minimal mono, neon cyber, retro pixel, royal gold and sunset gradient.
What is the difference between the Wheel of Actions and Spin Royale?
The Wheel of Actions spins immediately for each qualifying gift and fires that segment's action. Spin Royale collects entries over time — gifts buy tickets — and then runs one draw for a single winner. Use the wheel for constant small interactions and Spin Royale for a bigger scheduled payoff.
Is the wheel overlay free?
There is a free tier that covers running a wheel. Paid plans add the premium theme families and the heavier interactive overlays.
