The Squeal of Fortune is a daily activity available to both members and free players. Free players get one spin a day while members get two spins a day. The introductorytask system must be completed or turned off for the button of Yelps to appear. The Squeal of Fortune resets every midnight GMT. Rewards include armour, weapons, xp lamps, coins, and other items, some as illustrious as godswords. Lucky equipment is untradeable and will be destroyed if you die and choose not to keep hold of them. There are many false rumors about items being worth over a certain amount of coins being "lucky". This is determined by the item and not the value.
When the players log in, there would be a small interface somewhere in the game screen; this can be moved to wherever players wish to keep it. Click on the button of Yelps, the host, on the left side of the interface, to begin the activity.
Not all items are available in every draw; it appears that players get a small selection of 13 items, which always consists of one super rare item, two rare items, four uncommon items and six common items. The selection of items changes from spin to spin, but logging out and back in results in no change. The list of items is shown in a line of boxes at the bottom of the screen, with the "Current" item's box glowing slightly. Click the big red button at the right of the screen to stop the wheel. When the glow stops moving, the player receives that item. Players then get the option to send the reward to their bank, inventory (for exp lamps) or money pouch (if it was a prize of coins) or to discard it.
Contrary to popular belief, the time at which a player presses the button does not determine the loot gained. As soon as the button is pressed, the item will be chosen randomly and the glow stops on that item.

Trivia
- The update was not included in the February 2012 Behind the Scenes; a similar event took place in February 2011 with the Wildywyrm.
- The name is a play on words of the game show; Wheel of Fortune.
- When the update was released, an interactive wheel appeared on the RuneScape homepage.
- For the first couple hours after release there was a minor glitch where players could click the red 'spin' button for a second time to instantly stop the wheel. This was abused by small amounts of players and was not very well known. Jagex patched this glitch around two hours of the release. Jagex did not roll back any players as a result of this.
- All of the Squeal of Fortune "lucky" items are greyed out when compared to the real item, this is to distinguish between the two.
- Following the release of the Squeal of Fortune, the items listed as "Lucky" were believed to be tradable and this caused quite a bit of panic amongst players who had already owned the original versions of the prizes. It has since been confirmed that the items are NOT tradable and do NOT degrade.
- The icon does not appear in the Duel Arena.
