About Roulette Wheel

What we do

Roulette Wheel publishes three things: free roulette games you can play in a browser, calculators that turn casino mathematics into numbers you can act on, and reviews of the casinos where roulette is actually worth playing. We launched in April 2023 and we are independent — not owned by, or operated on behalf of, any gambling operator.

Why we built it

Most roulette content online is either an advert wearing a guide's clothing, or a system being sold to people who cannot afford it. We wanted a site where the house edge is stated on every game page, where the strategy article says plainly that systems do not work, and where the bonus table is ranked by what an offer is worth to a roulette player rather than by how large the headline number is.

Who writes it

Two people. Daniel Voss, a former live-casino roulette dealer and pit supervisor, writes the maths, the guides and the simulators. Elena Marchetti, our bonus editor, opens and funds every casino account we review and verifies every promo code before it is published. Both are named on every page they produce.

How the demos work

Every game on this site runs locally in your browser using your device's cryptographic random number generator. Pockets are drawn uniformly, payouts match the standard paytable, and balances are play money with no cash value. There is no deposit, no withdrawal, no account and no prize. They exist to let you learn a layout and test an idea for free.

How we make money

Some outbound links to casinos are affiliate links. If you register through one, we may receive a commission from the operator at no cost to you. That is the entirety of our revenue — we do not sell systems, courses, tips or advertising space, and we do not accept payment for a rating. Full disclosure here.

What we will not publish

• A casino we have not deposited at with our own money.
• A promo code we have not entered on a live account.
• Any claim that a betting system overcomes the house edge.
• Invented player winnings presented as genuine results. The "latest wins" feed on our homepage is clearly labelled as simulated output from our own demo tables.

What we do not do

We do not sell betting systems, courses, tipsheets, "professional" bet selections or anything else that promises an edge at roulette. There is no edge to sell. Every one of those products depends on the buyer not knowing that expected value is additive, and we would rather explain that for free than charge for the opposite.

We do not run display advertising, we do not accept payment for a rating or a position in a table, and we do not publish sponsored articles dressed as editorial. Our only revenue is affiliate commission on outbound links, which is disclosed on every page that carries one.

How the site is built

Roulette Wheel is a static site. There is no login, no user database and no tracking beyond aggregate, IP-anonymised analytics. The demo games and calculators run entirely in your browser: nothing you type into a calculator, and no result from a demo spin, is transmitted anywhere. It is also why the pages load quickly and keep working if you lose connection mid-session.

The wheels are drawn on an HTML canvas and driven by your device's cryptographic random number generator. Every pocket is equally likely on every spin, there is no near-miss weighting, and no state is carried between spins. That is a deliberate choice: a demo that subtly rewards you teaches the wrong lesson.

Our editorial line, stated once

Roulette is entertainment with a known price. The price is turnover multiplied by the house edge, and it is knowable in advance from two numbers printed on the table. Nothing about bet selection, sequencing or stake progression changes it. What does change it is which wheel you sit at, how fast you play, and whether you take rakeback or a weighted match bonus.

We repeat that on nearly every page, and we will keep repeating it, because it is both true and unprofitable to say — which is roughly the definition of the thing a reader cannot get from an advert.

Corrections

If a figure on this site is wrong, tell us and we will fix it in place and change the updated date at the top of the page. Where an error was material we note what changed. We do not quietly edit and pretend the page was always right. Contact details are here.
