Idle master running while has VAC secured cause VAC error and maybe low chance. Use at your own risk.

List of all games that has cards with VAC enabled.

Still works for me.
It's recommended to play non vac game or afking it if you really wanted that card while using idlemaster
The new system i noticed will likely to drop a card everytime you enter the game in specific time then quit.
I am sure you'll get 1 card.

Even playing for 3, hours without using idlemaster might only gave you a few cards.

You don't actually know how VAC or Idle Master works right?

For receiving a VAC ban in a particular game this game needs to be installed AND you must be playing on a secured server. Games being idled dont match those points due to the fact that you never install them.
The game you are running while Idle Master is running can't trigger an actual ban either because the VAC system can only check the specific game files and Idle Master just CAN'T affect them in any way.
What actually can happen is a VAC Error means you can be disconnected due to an authentication error because Idle Master does some kind of an authentication every once in a while. Those errors by the way are completely approved by Valve and will never ever trigger a ban.

Idle Master is 100% VAC safe
I'm using it for years now and after like 2000 Games being idled while having played CS:GO, Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor and many more nothing happended to me or any other person I recommended this software.

And the second point is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Idle Master does not affect the drop rate in any way
Drops always start after 2 Hours of playtime (due to the Steam Refund Policy) and the dropratio is given by the game.
What can slow you down is an error during the authentication of Idlemaster mentioned above because it does not refresh the playtime so it can happend that you farm like 10 hours straight and Idle Master does not give the trigger to restart the games for the drops
(Because the games are not installed, Idle Master simulates the closing of the game and then reopens it if there are card drops left)

He never mentioned it safe or not, he only said something about don't use it while running VAC protected games such as dota,csgo and such.
It might cause false ban which should be avoided at all cost

The card drop are quite random now, you can get it less than playing 2 hours. If i remember correctly that is.
