VAC bans cheats, not idle hours.

Valve Anti-Cheat only acts when it detects a cheat running on a computer. Idling launches nothing, installs nothing, and never connects to a VAC-secured server, so there is nothing for it to flag.

Idling can't trigger a VAC ban

VAC bans are issued only when a cheat is detected on the machine - we run no cheats, inject nothing, and never touch a VAC-secured server.

Why HourIdler.com is VAC Safe:

  • We NEVER connect to VAC-protected servers.
  • We NEVER download any game files.
  • We NEVER run any idles on any servers but our own.
  • We NEVER do anything that can harm your accounts.
  • We NEVER release any grey area updates.
  • We NEVER run idle sessions on your pc - everything runs on our servers.

HourIdler.com has never caused any account to receive any sort of ban or suspension.

HourIdler vs ArchiSteamFarm

Same goal, far less hassle. ArchiSteamFarm is free and powerful, but you run it yourself: install it, edit JSON config files, and keep your own PC or server on 24/7. HourIdler does it all for you in the browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to boost my Steam game hours?

Yes. We offer free Steam hour boosting on the Free plan. There is no hour limit - idle as long as you want on up to 2 Steam accounts, for free!

Do I need to keep my computer on while boosting my Steam game hours?

No, you don't need to keep your computer on. HourIdler keeps running even after you shut down your PC, so you can idle and boost Steam hours without a care in the world.

Can I play games while boosting my Steam game hours?

Yes, you can! HourIdler automatically pauses when you start a game on Steam. With the auto-restart feature enabled, it resumes boosting once you close your game.

Can I hour boost multiple games at the same time?

Yes! You can hour boost up to 32 games at once, letting you efficiently increase playtime across multiple games simultaneously.

What is HourIdler and how does it work?

HourIdler is a Steam hour idler and hour boost service - sometimes called a Steam hour booster, grinder, or watch bot. It racks up thousands of hours on your favourite games like CS2, Dota 2, and TF2 automatically, 24/7, with no PC required.

Can I get banned for boosting my Steam game hours?

No, boosting your Steam game hours with HourIdler won't get you banned. Your games really are run and idled on our servers, so Steam credits genuine playtime - but nothing is ever automated or changed inside the game. VAC only ever bans detected cheats, never idle hours, which is what makes this safe.
