Free will is the capacity to make independent choices, act according to one's own motivations, and be held morally responsible for those actions, rather than being predetermined by prior causes. This philosophical concept is debated, with views ranging from libertarianism (people have genuine free will) to determinism (all events, including choices, are inevitable). Free will is also tied to concepts like the subjective experience of choice, moral responsibility, praise, blame, and the ability to act otherwise than one did.

Its absolutely both.

You make a choice, due to laws of the universe, your choice is rewarded to you in a deterministic way


Everyone has free will, but no one has uninfluenced free will.

Everyone's choices sre deterministic, free will affects what deterministic event happens to you or others.

The debate between 

free will and determinism centers on whether our choices are genuinely our own or are predetermined by prior causes. Free will is the idea that individuals have the capacity to make unconstrained choices, while determinism posits that every event is the inevitable result of prior events and natural laws.
