ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering, which is similar to Initial Public Offering.
IPO is selling securities.
If the coin represents an investment, ownership of other assets, pays dividends, etc., then it is a security. Unless the ICO has filed with the regulators, they are not allowed to sell securities.
Token Sales is selling tokens, preferably to be used in playing games or gambling. They should not represent ownership of other assets, pay dividends, etc.
So, if I invest in an ICO I will get dividend? No, not necessarily. It depends on the ICO and if they are claiming that they will pay a dividend. Any ICO that claims that they will pay a dividend or that you will make a profit, you should be very suspicious and cautious for these reasons: - Technology startups rarely pay dividends. Google and Facebook still don't pay dividends. - You should thoroughly understand how they will make the money to pay the dividend. - If they claim that they will pay dividend or provide a return on investment, then they are selling a security. In which case, they are putting themselves on the top of the regulator's list, if and when the regulators start cracking down on ICOs for selling securities. If regulators go after them, then the value of the coin will drop. So Its ok that I participated in token sale and not ICO? Token Sale and ICO can be identical, as both can be selling tokens. ICOs can sell a new coin from a new blockchain or it can be selling tokens. Token Sale sells only tokens. That is really the only difference. Either can offer dividends, profits, etc. If either do, then they are selling securities. The main reason some teams are calling it Token Sale instead of ICO, is because they don't want the perception that they are selling securities, as ICO is very similar to IPO and IPOs sell securities. |

I'm a bit confused about how the "Make a bet" campaign works. I joined someones round which was listed in their signature, made a bet etc and decided to host a round myself, which I see someone has joined
Am I eligible for some tokens?
Welcome aboard. Whether you join an existing round or host a new round is irrelevant to the campaign. However, the round should start 24 hours or more later. Then copy the URL of the round (example: https://stockbet.com/#/BullBear/round/17939). Post this URL on Facebook, Twitter or crypto-related site and tell others to take on your bet. Your posts should occur 24 hours before the round starts. Note that you must tell others to take on your bet. Then post the URL of your posting to our announcement thread ( stockbet.com/ann redirects to our Bitcointalk announcement thread), so that we can count them. Details are in the OP at the top of this thread. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. |

I will join twitter, Facebook and blog post campaign, Can I get credit rewards on 29.10 or when?
Welcome aboard. Please follow the instructions in the OP on how to sign up. If you have any questions, ask away. The tokens will be rewarded/sent after the end of the sale. Is that an issue with you? |
