There are sites that will make you see ICO's ratings this rating was researched by teams on that particular sites you can see expert ratings and what do they think, about given names of the token but if you are having doubts on their work you can sure research and see for yourself, I really think that there is no 100% ICO that will be compatible with you there will always be a flaw, And we can not know any good ICO until it shows its true colors so we are technically sitting ducks waiting for an ICO to makes its move whether it can be a success or not, It will be on the developer's hands if they can make it happen, So I can say that there are no guaranteed ICO's and not all are pertaining only to scam but to ICO that are not successful with their hard cap or soft cap this will lead to stopping the ICO itself.

I don't think there is any kind of platform out there that guarantees you that an ICO won't scam you. This is the crypto market. They will take your money in such a through gaining your trust and runaway in such a way that they can not be traced anymore. A developer can go rouge anytime. No one can guarantee you that an ICO won't scam you. You will have to do your own research and analysis and trust your own intuition.

You can take a look at ICOBENCH or other similar websites but it's necessary to make your own analysis because if not rare that these websites analysis are superficial and not accurate.

You must know that the term SCAM has a lot of understanding.
1. a project that has ponzi characters, like javacoin
2. an ICO has a good project, but a greedy team, they finally take away investor assets.
3. investors are not satisfied with the sale, eventually, the investor asks for a refund.
4. projects that don't have a future, their goal is to make the market fall.

so, it's difficult to choose good ICO, a professional team is needed to achieve success. and I think, Investor will never stop to join several ICOs.

There is no guaranty investing in an ICO projects failed and paused, if the dev is honest he will return your money there are a good project with existing good products and services but they failed to reach their softcap, so my advice is to pick an honest dev that will return your funds if the project is paused or failed to reach the softcap.

The only guarantee of an ICO is that they will take your crypto currency.

Getting it back is supposedly the fun "gamble" in ICO's, the amount of scammers make it a lot less fun though.

I don't trust any ICO rating website today and you should do a lot of research before taking consideration of investing to an ICO. Many are scams today and you can't be sure on how reliable those sites are.

In ICO market, the sad fact is that there's no more reliable reviews for them. But there are still some few good ICOs out there and finding them is a bit challenging today.

Of course they are not. even if they give you guarantees that tokens will be paid, this does not mean that they will not fall very much in price.

Yes that's true, we can't really rely on ICO ratings site. We, ourselves can also make an inspection in order to filter out these scams out of the real ones. Before that, we should first be knowledgeable about many things in the business industry, the experience of others will teach us a lot.

Ico ratings websites do not and cannot give an accurate prediction of how a project will perform, although some sites go further to  probably vet the crypto projects they list and rate to avoid scam projects.
However I will say you should always make your own research and rely on authentic data

it's hard to believe anything right now, the ico review website is starting to doubt some of the issues that have befallen them. even the team has falsehood, the white paper uses data plagiarism. this is very worrying that ico is in danger and investors may be increasingly afraid to join ico.

Well, at least I won't guarantee if an ICO is an scam or not, because it's so uncertain to give 100% correct advice. This business model can also be abused if such a site is a scamsite himself and paid for listing ICOs as legit but they aren't.

I wouldn't trust any website if it guarantees an ICO is legit. Doing own research is always rule number one.

Some time ago I participated in the Dehedge project, a project that protects investors from the drops of Token price, scam project and non-listing of Token. I think this project will improve the belief of investors about buying ICO Token is this situation of the cryptocurrency market.

Sorry if this answer will disappoint you, but i really think there is not any guarantee of any ICO. Also not any guarantee in Crypto......

Don't safe to assume that there is a guaranteed site that will tell that it's a reliable ICO. Even a too good to be true project ended of scamming investors once gained enough money. Remember Oyster PRL.

Don't trust any ICOs, leverage and put it into account to spread all your investments.

I beleive a good ico should not be determined by the ico site that can easily be paid off by this Icos to get good ratings.I believe a good ico should be spotted through their token project and how well they stick to their roadmap. A good Ico should have a very functional and professional team  that are head bent of meeting the goal of providing a usecase for the  very ico in question 

I personally believe that developers should give some guarantees to their investors because they must have some confidence that their money will not be lost

There are, some platforms have been getting a big advisor just like co founder of ripple is very well known as a trusted project and i can't deny this fact. So many people have known about this and that's the main point of this thing.

There are many ICO rating sites that conducts a study about ICOs so you can make use of this sites to take a look as to what ICOs are hot nowadays and what is not. However, you should not entirely depend on them because some of them are just paid to promote the ICO so you may end up losing your capital especially if it is just a scam and the team would be gone after collecting some money.

The best way still is conducting your own research and then determine the pros and cons of investing in that ICO. You can check the ideas of people here in the forum but you should filter it too because there are others who would just comment about it because it is part of their bounty.

This is not new even before. Now it is becoming more obvious as many are experienced enough to see this. We have to set some expectations that it's not as profitable as before whether there's a scam or not.

Crypto is anonymous, I don't think if an ICO have a guarantor to make every project at least not scam. If its have guarantee, I think the ICO's team must pay a lot of money to the platform.

No one can give you any guarantee of the reliability of ICO projects. Recently, apart from the usual fraud in the ICO, when teams run away with investors ’collected funds, there has been fraud using the KYC check, when such a check is announced without prior notice at the end of the ICO or even some time after its completion and various Requirements for the non-payment of earned tokens.
The only way out of the current situation, I see only government regulation of ICO projects, now the ICO teams have soothed themselves that they want what they are doing.

There is no guarantee that the ICO will succeed. There is only a platform that scores how good an ICO is so we can consider it, but keep in mind that there was once a case of a platform that sold high prices to the ICO project to give a very good score on its platform. Hopefully you understand what I mean, in the end you can only rely on yourself to do research.

Now all around fraudsters. Even sites with ratings are purchased. Therefore, it is very difficult to trust someone. You need to rely on your knowledge and intuition. I think it will be more reliable.

Most entities that guarantee ICO reliability will appear in the project's partners, which requires us to check it out! And this information can be faked!

I have to say that not all ICO are scammers.There are very good ICO teams with a good product,but in today's situation in the crypto-currency market and investments, not all companies achieve results and therefore no one can give guarantees.

These ICO rating websites can only select the "good" ICOs and they won't give the best ones. Because sometimes these scam ICOs pay a nice money and get high-rated, also they can get some ads from these websites. So maybe they can't be the best in these rating websites but eventually, they will be in a high position. When I was investing to an ICO, I would find ICOs from popular rating websites. Then check their team, where they got the education, do they have a past. After this I check their social media posts, blog posts, GitHub commits. If everything looks okay, then it probably works but sometimes I ended up with %70-80 loss.

It seems to me that if there was such a platform, even if it was paid, then still many people would use it and there would not be such a large number of fraudulent ICOS, because the scammers would understand that nothing comes out of this sensible.

I think, No one can guarantee that ICO is reliable to invest. We know that there are so many ICOs now, and we can not know which one is the good one. It's our own responsibility to find the answer, that's my opinion :)

the guarantor can be the country in which the cryptocurrency is legalized and there sanctions against swindlers are provided. by the way, the country where the cryptocurrency is legalized by such actions tries to protect its citizens from fraud. and if you look where the new ICO is registered, we will see that they are mainly registered in countries where there is no law on cryptocurrency and therefore there will be no punishment for scammers.

Nothing on this earth is guaranteed, let alone if there is anything safe in the crypto market.
All we can do is analyze carefully and try to make decisions that are not too disastrous.
If we do not like this, it is better to invest in mutual funds.

It will boil down to make a research on your own when it comes to investing in a project. Don't fully trust an entity that review ICOs because IMO those entities can be paid to make positive reviews on an ICO to make them look good on investors. It is your money so better you decide.

participation in the ICO is a high risky venture as well as investing in cryptocurrency. No one guarantees anything. It all depends on how experienced you are and how skillfully you select campaigns

you are making a mistake by thinking that "nowadays" the ICO scams are hitting the market! the problem is that they have always been scams but now that more people know this simple fact, the success rate of these ICO scams is going down making it harder for them to gather money so your investment in them fails with a huge loss too.
and for that reason there can not be any kind of guarantee for an ICO success and if anyone is offering you something of that kind then it means they are trying to scam you twice.

ICO's, bounties in a bad situation because of scammer projects. Last experiences is not good.
Even some Project managed by sylon, had some problems these days.
God save us.

You can investigate your project by your own and look at its rating on the rating websites. But there is no platform existing, that will guarantee you that an ICO is going to end successfully. I have seen projects that were rated with 5/5 overall and have lost around x10 from the ICO price.

Indeed, this is just a nationwide calling plan and with such a large scale, they can not control it all. This is a high risk market, but otherwise we will also earn a lot. That is the risk we bear and so I recommend that you improve your ICO analysis skills.

Actually it depends on the platforms function and field of interest if the services or function they choose has a true demand from the probable consumers it will consider as guarantee. But frankly speaking these was only a pure speculation this is the true state of cryptocurrency and ICO's.

There is no any platform or institution that could guarantee that some ICO projects is not a similar scam today. There was the same situation with stocks a couple centuries ago in different countries but all that was changed after the provided tight government regulation.

there is no guarantee that a platform can make the ICO reliable. ICO rating sites are business so if they are offered money they can make changes to the rating and you would not know that it is fake. mostly you can only depend on your self by researching and investing in ICO is risky.

Some time agone I participated within the Dehedge project, a project that protects investors from the drops of Token worth, scam project and non-listing of Token. i feel this project can improve the idea of investors concerning shopping for ICO Token is that this state of affairs of the cryptocurrency market.

ICO rating websites help in that case. There are ICO critics that scrutinize and verify an ICOs credibility and authenticity. This ratings really help boost the ICOs popularity as well as the people's trust in it.

I think there are many reliable and reputable ICOs. There is something I can not recognize them

ICO coins at the moment cannot be trusted, because many are not in accordance with the promised price. now the most reliable coins are masternode coins.
I have compared between ICO coins and masternode coins at this time, masternode is better compared to ICO coins. ICO coins can take months to transact and masternode coins do not require a long time to be able to make transactions.
maybe you can prove it by analyzing it.

Current most ICO rating and reviews website just a place to give you more information about current or upcoming ICO, but don't guarantee you the ICO is 100% worth to invest, as ICO is a high risk and high profit return investment, so any decision is up to you, don't trust anyone or platform   

I think it's already there and there are so many, we just need to re-analyze what they are analyzing, look for the best ICO that might be potentially beneficial. No matter how good the platform is that can guarantee that a ico is a big success, they only speculate that the rest of you are analyzing

No sites about ICO ratings and reviews will guarantee the existence and truthfulness of ICOs. It's really hard to determine which ICOs are fake and scam. Considering that some ICO review sites are being paid to make ICOs look good. So, before investing perform a lot of necessary research.

there is no guarantee to invest ico 90% ico is a scam.
so think before investing ico. but if you are right to choose ico you can become rich

If there is such a service that will guarantee all the chances of a positive ICO for all possible legalizations and in order to weed out scam projects, I think that such a project will definitely be offered good funding.

I do not think that there are such platforms or sites that would guarantee that ico will be successful. In general, no one can give guarantees on investments, especially in cryptocurrency. If you find the organization or the person who will guarantee you a profit and return your funds, then most likely he is a fraudster. If we are talking about guarantees, it is only in banks or large official companies, and then usually garnatii are given for something. In the crypto industry at the moment, there can be no guarantees, on the contrary, the cryptocurrency market and ico are high risk.

There is no website or a platform that guarantees the success of an ICO. what I know is there some websites that give ratings of each ICO, but you shouldn't believe ratings as a guarantee for success of an ICO because there were some ICOs failed even they had high ratings. So just do your own research first.

You are right that you should not believe in ratings, since I saw offers with prices for the formation of a rating on similar sites.
so that they are convenient only for familiarization and the fact that there is a lot of information collected

I don't think you will find a place can can guarantee the legitimacy of an ICO, the best you can do is view some of the ICO review sites and of course community opinion, even then there is no guarantee.

Only your own experience and the experience of people on this forum will be able to assist you in determining the quality of a given ICO project. Do not neglect the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others. Only you yourself can become a guarantor of the quality of the project in which you participate.

There are a lot of platforms, some of them already started working, for example, DAOX, some of them in development - W12, DESICO. These platforms protect investors funds at least that's their main idea

The guarantee is on how good our own research because we cannot believe in any entities or platform. Many ICO ratings have already paid by projects to raise their ratings. That's why I am not really sure with ICO ratings nowadays.          

A working product is generally a must these days. No matter how good the idea is without a working product I wouldn't invest. Also, I would pay close attention to who there advisors our. Since the top 5 ICO bench advisors won't add their name to shitty projects which will harm their reputation they generally only join ICO that have potential.

There is no such  guarantee on ICOs. You have to make your own research on the project. Analyze the WP,
Team, look at ICO rating sites etc. but as we are missing regulations on ICO field, there is no guarantee that
you will not be scammed. You can never be sure that at one point the ICO turns out to be a scam and the team
disappear with the funds. This is a risk we have to be aware.

I think there is no guarantee if we hope that when we join an ICO this will success. What we can do is do with our research or maybe sharing with many people how to choose ICO it is good or not. Or you can read at this forum i saw many thread about how to avoid scam ICO and then you do with your experience maybe it can reduce or avoid us from scam ICO

It may be difficult to have a guarantee in ICO investment, maybe in the future, the ICO market will more organized  to protect investors interest.
There are already projects under development with a dedicated ICO blockchain alongside some centralized features to solve the existing problems in the ICO market.

I think there is no guarantee in any investment. Its true that these days many ICOs are scam and i think thats why i think need government regulation. If government issuing regulation about ICOs, i am believe scammer will afraid and it will reducing scam ICOs from market

It is very hard to determine the ICOS performance in the beginning, even some ICO bench marks out there are have trouble to filter what ICO is real and not scam. But, with the help of concern bounty hunters, they can determine whether an ICO is a scam or not.

As long as the scope of cryptocurrency is not regulated, no one will give you any guarantees. Perhaps in the future Iko will be safer, I heard that they suggested replacing ICO with RICO. That is, people will be able to return their investments at any stage of project development.

Now is the time when most of the ICO projects had tremendous success and the demand for tokens exceeded the supply of tokens. Unfortunately, this time is over and there are no guarantees that purchased tokens will increase in price several times or several dozen times. Investing in ICO is highly risky - you can both earn high and lose low. The decision is up to you - be very careful.

Nobody would guarantee you the success of any project, because it is impossible to see the future and to say that the project will even reach the soft cap on the falling market. Check the project and decide for yourself.

If you need a guarantee, you should invest in the top altcoin market. Your money will be guaranteed because of the altcoin that is hard to scam. For ICO, it never happened because ICO is the beginning of a project and no one can guarantee it

There will be no guarantee on any ICO!
There are so many ICO who were scam, but still we need to keep believing that everything will be fine.
We need to trust ourselves and make things work for us.
research and study is the best thing to do in this cryptocurrency community.

Yeah research is the key but most of the ICO rating sites get paid by the ICOs. So, better not trust them.

For me, buying new tokens from decentralized exchanges when they distributed the bounty payments become much cheaper.

Of course, No. Nobody can say which ICO is guranteed. There are different situations on the market. Some ICOs are falling after entering the real market. Itsn't unpredictable.

Each ICO rating website has an interest relationship with the project. Don't trust these rating platforms too much. No organization or individual can guarantee ICO projects. Because the ICO market is full of uncertainty and risk.

There are dozens of ranking websites that rank ICOs but and a big BUT they make no guarantee , There is no guarantee in ICOs neither  in cryptocurrency market, The only one that you can trust is just yourself!

Unfortunately, there are no such platforms, and now really a lot of scams divorced. There are, of course, sites where there is a trust rating icon, but this does not give you an absolute guarantee that the ICO is good.

There are several ICO rating websites but I don’t totally trust their judgements toward the projects. I will just take the write up as a reference when I am doing research. IMO, it is better to trust your own investment judgement than guarantee from any company.

When you participate in such the project in cryptocurrency there are no guarantees. Any investment is a risk and the more so in cryptocurrency.

So far as I know there is no entities or platform that guarantees an ICO is good and not a scam. However, there are several things to be used as parameters.

A good ICO has a convincing web site, a compact developer team, a whitepaper, a video from the team explaining the project, the planned listing on the exchanger and having a smart contract for sure.

You can also check on ICO web reviews such as ICO Bench, Crypto Compare, Coin Desk and so on.

There are place of people you could ask for advice on any ICO, that way you could use them as a guide to choose the best ICO for you. and at the same time you could learn to choose which project can be trusted or not.

I do not see such service or platform been executed hundred percent. We have seen in the recent some form of collateralization of ICOs but not fully responsible for success or failure of ICO. I think investors will keeping on bearing the full risk of ICO investment!

Ya i can say most of icos are just a scam project, that's why we need to be more carefull before we want to investing our money in crypto especially in ICO. Just be more selective and do your own research with very-very carefully.

the only thing that can guarantee about the ICO is yourself, although it also can never be entirely appropriate. entrust the site rating and many existing assessments is not able to make bail today. the analysis will be helpful but should also be provided with a good knowledge of the crypto mainly for ICO.

I think that this will not happen exactly and I will explain why, because many projects today still try not only to invest but also to benefit from it, but think that developers are already benefiting when they offer you a common idea.

until now there is no site that guarantees the validity of an ICO project.
if there is any, I will not believe it, just do your own research because it is clear that if there is an ICO scams, your money will be lost, not someone else's money.

Before investing in one, aside from doing your research, it is always better if an ICO project can show an already working product for added assurance. It's harder to trust these days as scammers are drawn into taking advantage as many investors are now interested in ICOs each day.

Yes, such platforms can give a partial guarantee of the current and nobody can guarantee 100% of them. The escrow company can give a guarantee but they can become a scam themselves, which may well be. I know a lot of such projects, but they do not cause complete confidence; you can look for current projects for bounty from there.

There's no such entity. The only way to guarantee ICO is not a hit and run affair is for them to have a working product which tells they're really here to stay. They should have a real office which people can easily locate aside that there is no guarantee that it's real.

Simply there no such thing as Guarantee of an ICO - that's my opinion. This discussion can go on and on, but one thing will be the same and i am talking about the risk.

There is no platform that able and courageous guarantee ICO to be free from fraud and succeed. many of the ratings of the site contain assessment ICO was bad because there was a scandal behind it. the safest way to do is by analysis are themselves based on the understanding of crypto.

Now no one can give any guarantees of the reliability of a specific ICO project. Everyone without exception is allowed to this activity, this activity attracts a lot of fraudsters due to the fact that during the ICO large multimillion funds are collected and therefore the ICO has already begun to resemble a gathering of fraudsters. Now even the normal ICO teams have begun to en massely try to deceive the bounty hunters by announcing after the ICO the KYC checks in order for more bounty hunters to pass and not to pay the tokens they have earned.
One way out of this situation is government regulation of ICO projects.

Here in crypto we must take and do on our own risk to invest on any ICOs, I also don't believe on ICO ratings because rating can also been paid under the table to publish fake ratings.

Lots of ICO rating sites rate some ICO as best to invest in while those rating sites are biased. They simply take money from the ICO. Anyway, I think no one can guarantee a certain ICO which will be successful. You have to analyze the project with some factors like- the project, product, team, roadmap, whitepaper etc. Only you can decide whether it's worthy to invest in or not.

At the moment, I have not heard this! But I heard that it seems to be an ICO, the idea of ​​which is just to protect investors from fraud! Refund of funds will be included in the smart contract if the project fails to collect the amount it needs or does not fulfill its obligations!

In the modern world, no one gives a 100% guarantee, everywhere and in full swing. It’s necessary to analyze it yourself and not hope for any companies.

I think lot of reliable project have postponed there token generation events. Surely they must waiting to market stable or recovery.  So as that this of facts i think this is not a good time for investing ico. but that doesn't mean we should not consider anything about ICOs,Because there may be some most reliable project's icos on this market conditions.  

At this current situation of the market it is so obvious that there are no guarantees in any of the ICOs that would come out from any other blockchains.
