How often do booster packs drop?

[MaGYaR]

I have a ton of games for which I'm 'eligible' for a booster back. I've yet to see one drop. How often have ya'll seen them drop and does any sort of activity in particular seem to trigger it?

How many is a ton? If you have over 100 eligible games you can expect a few (1 or 2) booster packs per month (on average).

says you own 2 games on your profile, whats up?

There is another profile!!!

It's completely random.... Could be every week, could be seemingly, never.

More people that make badges for a game, the more booster packs drop for that game. Also, the more people who own that game, the less your chances of getting that drop. And being that each game follows that rule... the more eligible games you have, the better your odds of getting a drop for one of those games.

To increase your chances per eligible game owned, you gain a 25% increase for every 10 Steam levels. So basically when you reach level 50, it'll be like having 2 accounts with the same eligible game list. And also for every 10 Steam levels the XP required to go up a level increases 100XP (basically needing to craft an extra badge every 10 levels).

It's only 20%. But lvl 50 to double your chances is still right ;)

You are only level 3, plus you only have 2 games. Chances are you'll never get a booster pack.

I am level 22, and I have 47 games for which I am eligible to get a booster pack (out of the 178 games I own). Regardless of that, I NEVER got a booster pack from Steam.

I got a booster for Bioshock Infinite about a month back, and I was in the teens.

See im lvl 50 and im getting no booster pack why? 'i got 42 Badges'

[ScoFu]

Is there even any set method for it to happen or just completely random....?

Less than 20% of those you have, you didn't even get all the card drops for.

The booster pack drop pool is very large in the few you are qualified for.
