Exclusive Cards will be available in Boosters only after a new Standard set has been released. Then these cards are considered regular cards and lose their Exclusive tag.
The exclusive cards from a specific set will be added to the VIP Booster, Basic Booster (Standard), Rare Card (Standard), Mythic Booster Pack (Standard), and Masterpiece Booster Pack (Standard) when the new Standard set arrives. (All these mentioned boosters are from the Standard area in the Vault. This doesn’t apply to the Elite Collection area, the booster from Elite Collection will not receive the former Exclusive cards since it’s a completely different selection of cards.)
The Booster Crafting will also have the new regular cards when the former new set is added.

Oktagon_Support said: The VIP and Standard Booster already contain the IKO Exclusive cards.To get the IKO Exclusive cards from these boosters, you have to receive them after the update.All Boosters that have been kept in the Vault from the former release will not update. The description in the Booster category indicates the collections you can receive in that booster.

Ridiculous. Is this some sort of language barrier, perhaps?
Your own words specifically indicate that VIP cards should contain exclusive cards, "Once received, VIP Packs will only provide cards of that set. VIP packs acquired during a current set will only contain cards from that given set."
So, let's work through this logically.
1. VIP Boosters contain cards from the set during which they were released.
2. Exclusive cards are part of the Ikoria set.
3. We know they are part of the Ikoria set because they are in Ikoria Boosters.
4. Exclusive Cards will be available in Boosters only after a new Standard set has been released. Then these cards are considered regular cards and lose their Exclusive tag.
5. Therefore, by your own words, VIP Boosters should contain exclusive cards, because all of the above criteria are satisfied.
The only possible rationale for this is that there is a translation failure. A suspicious person might think that this is being done on purpose in order to mislead your subscribers, but you know, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here because there has been plenty of evidence in the past that the right hand and the left hand don't know what each other are doing.
There is no reasonable explanation for why you can update cards in "regular" Ikoria boosters simply by removing an exclusive flag, and not update cards in VIP boosters by doing the same thing.
So here, let's rewrite your previous words to reflect what you seem to have actually meant. My changes in bold. It changes the meaning of your words entirely.
Exclusive Cards will be available after a new Standard set has been released. These cards are considered regular cards and lose their Exclusive tag. All previous and subsequent Boosters from that set will contain the exclusives. VIP Boosters subsequently acquired after set release will also contain the exclusives.
The exclusive cards from a specific set will be added to newly-acquired VIP Booster, Basic Booster (Standard), Rare Card (Standard), Mythic Booster Pack (Standard), and Masterpiece Booster Pack (Standard) when the new Standard set arrives. (All these mentioned boosters are from the Standard area in the Vault. This doesn’t apply to the Elite Collection area, the booster from Elite Collection will not receive the former Exclusive cards since it’s a completely different selection of cards.)
