Specifically $9 USD per card. You get whatever microtransaction you purchased plus a free card to drop.

As you can see this is not cost efficient, it's only a deal-sweetener if you're someone who already would spend that kind of money (For example if you were purchasing a bunch of TF2 keys)

1. No. Steam's official stance is basically "Meh". They don't approve or disapprove.
   
   
2. Don't play VAC games while idling. It gets you VAC kicked and that's annoying.(NOT a ban, just kicks you from your game)
   
   
3. Yes. In fact you have no choice.
   
   
4. If you owned the game prior to it becoming free to play you get half-a-set like normal AND can gain further cards per $9. If you install it post-free-to-play you only get the $9 stuff.
   
   
5. Sadly no, but most of it is pretty self-explanatory and this forum exists for the stuff which isn't.
   
   
6. Our usual advice to get cards quickly is to skip to the next game every 5 minutes. If this fails, then there's also suspicion that Valve has set the games to only drop after the 3 hour mark has been hit. We're not sure why, it's a pain.
   
   
7. Join giveaway groups or a group like "Free game finder". These guys post up games for cheap and free.
   
   
8. Yes but you won't get any card drops until you close both idle and game.
   
   
9. It will and personally I have annoyed friends to hell and back with it. If you find a way to not spam them let me know.
   
   
10. Being offline on Steam will prevent idling from proceeding (Idlemaster will clock up time, but nothing will drop and steam hours will not increase).

Don't run idlemaster at the same time as you play and you'll be fine.

Is that only for games running on the vac system like CSGO or just all games?

It's only important for those games. You do get slower card drops if you do it for any game, but there's no danger there, just annoyance.

Don't run idlemaster at the same time as you play and you'll be fine.

Not as far as we know.

Plus EAC is so poorly made that there's like a dozen legitimate cheats which dodge that radar.

Idlemaster has no impact on your in-game performance which is what VAC scans for.

Steam wants you to buy the cards, why would they give you unlimited free cards?

Resend the code, which will generate you a new one.

Sorry friend but "Checked everywhere" except the Frequently asked questions thread at the top of this very forum apparently.

NEVER open as admin actually. Doing so causes a cascade of problems.
