Spin-to-win popups that turn visitors into subscribers
A spin-to-win popup is a gamified prize wheel that offers shoppers a discount in exchange for their email, turning first-time visitors into subscribers at a higher opt-in rate than a plain form. The small act of playing turns a passive ask into a moment of anticipation, so more shoppers hand over an email and leave with a code they actually want to use. BoostPop runs that wheel in minutes, without a theme edit.
What a spin-to-win popup does
It replaces the ordinary email form with a prize wheel. A shopper enters their email for a spin, the wheel lands on a reward (a percentage off, free shipping, or a small gift), and the code is theirs to use. That single interaction is why gamified popups routinely out-convert a static discount box: the shopper does something, then earns something.
The psychology is simple. A game feels like winning rather than filling in a form, and because the reward is revealed by the spin, the shopper earns the discount instead of being handed it. An earned reward carries more weight, which is why spin-to-win codes are more likely to be used at checkout than a code pasted into a banner.

When to use one
Reach for spin-to-win when you want the highest opt-in rate from first-time visitors. The four highest-impact jobs:
-
Grow your list faster
Gamification lifts opt-in rates over a plain email box, so the same traffic produces more subscribers for the same effort and the same discount.
-
Welcome first-time visitors
Target the wheel to new visitors only, so you capture a first email and discount without handing a code to loyal shoppers who were going to buy anyway.
-
Deliver the discount instantly
Show the winning code on screen the moment the wheel stops and send it to the shopper's inbox, so nothing stands between the prize and the purchase.
-
Keep it on-brand
Set the wheel's colours, prizes, and odds to match your store, so the game feels like part of your brand rather than a bolted-on widget.
