How many drops does your Badges page say you have left for those games? You have sufficient playtime for both of them to have received your free drops. You only get half the total number of cards (rounded up) from playing. Trading/selling/using the cards will not reset the number of drops.

The yellow boxes in this image show where to check the remaining number of drops each game has.

Double check your Badges page to see if you have drops remaining. The yellow boxes in this image shows what you're looking for. If all of your games are reporting No Card Drops Remaining (similar to The Binding of Isaac in the previous image), then Idle Master will say "Idling Complete" because further idling would be pointless.


Looks like you only have 2 non-F2P games, and you have sufficient play time to have received your allotment of free cards from them. Non-F2P games you only get half of the set (rounded up) from playing, if you want the missing cards you'll need to either trade with other users, purchase them off the Market or wait for some booster packs.

With a handful of exceptions you don't qualify for, Free 2 Play(F2P) games do not provide any free cards. If you want card drops from a F2P game you must spend $9US per card drop.

If it's not showing up under Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, you can try something like Revo Uninstaller.

Oh ok, thanks.
btw, If I don't sell but I use the cards, I can't receive more?

For normal games, there is no method to gain additional drops. Once you have received your free drops you're left with Booster Packs, the Market and trading with other users if you want more cards from that game, none of those are impacted by playtime.

Free 2 Play games you can earn additional drops by spending $9US on the game for every additional drop you want.

You only get half the set (rounded up) from playing(/idling). If you sell/trade away those cards, you do not get more. The games in that image say you have received your free cards and you have sufficient playtime in those games to support that claim.

If you're certain you haven't received any drops from those games you can try contacting Support and they'll get to the bottom of it.

Is Idle Master saying it's complete, or is it loading up a game and then nothing? If it's loading, which game? How long are you letting it sit?

If Idle Master says it's complete, a screen shot of your Badges page could be useful. Here's a quick grab of my Badges page[i.imgur.com] which shows I have 4 drops remaining for Soul Gambler but no drops remaining from Binding of Isaac. Playing Binding of Isaac further will not result in additional card drops for me.

If your concerned about how long it takes, drop rate will vary from game to game, but most games take ~30 minutes per card but some games will take up to 1 hour per card. For games you just got, there is now a 2 hour playtime requirement before you get to the normal drops, but you appear to have passed that.

Your games list shows 3 STC enabled games, Jet Gunner, Terraria and Portal 2 (you also have TF2 and DotA2 but they're F2P). You have 3 cards from Jet Gunner which is the alloted amount of free cards. You also have 1 card from Terraria.

Did you purchase/trade for the other cards? You've got 6 Payday 2 cards in your inventory. Double check your Badges page to make sure you have drops remaining.

If you stopped playing/idling the the game but still have drops remaining, Idle Master will eventually get back to them but it appears to prioritize games with lower playtime. There is a thread asking for the ability to manually choose the game priority.

My problem is that i am idling but i dont get anything and it is idling only 1 game and i have 9 ... please help

For Half Life 2, due to changes in the refund policy you must now have 2 hours of playtime before the normal drop rates begin. Half Life 2 drops cards at a rate of roughly 1 card every 30 minutes. With those factors in mind, you'll usually see your first card at 2.5 hours of playtime, since you have 2.4 hours it's quite likely you stopped idling just before you got your first card.

From limited testing when the STC system was first released, the drop timer is not cumulative so you'll likely need to idle an additional ~30 minutes for your first card instead of the ~6 minutes away you were. This was back in Beta and I don't know the full data behind the test so it might be wrong.

For CS:GO and L4D2, you appear to have enough playtime so I'd double check your Badges page to make sure you have drops left and that you didn't trade/sell them away and forget.

Checking your Badges page will also show if you have any drops available for the F2P games. You've got some that have exceptions to the normal 1 card per $9(US) spent.

Once you get your cards, that's it. There is no known method to reset your drops.

Due to changes in the refund policy you must now have 2 hours of playtime, then the drop rate for cards starts. Drop rate is set by the game's dev and most games average around ~30 minutes per card but it can get as high as 1 hour per card meaning the first card will arrive between 2.5 and 3 hours of playtime depending on the game.
