It looks like you have a lot of good answers already.
Basically, a lot of ICOs exclude Chinese, Singaporean, and US citizens due to regulations and laws.
There is the option of using an escrow service, but then you would have to factor in the price to use that service.
This will significantly alter the cost per coin/token that you invest in.
With that being said, let me give you some quick advice on icos:
Avoid them.
I know it is tempting to jump in on one in hopes that you can get astronomical returns later, but just peruse the forums and you will get a general idea that most people lose money through icos or the returns aren't nearly a good as just putting money into bitcoin.
There is a sort of ICO bubble now where there are just too many.
Too many projects with not enough investors along with many icos going into the same sector with way too much competition.
Nowadays, you can easily get an ico coin for the ico price or even lower a couple weeks after it hits exchanges, much safer and wiser.

Can US Citizens Participate in ICOs???
Every ICO have its rules. Most of ICO don't accept US citizens but i saw many that don't have this restriction. You can ask support of any project. Usually, they are very active before ICO end. |

The fact that Americans can not participate in the ICO is really very bad. But it's good that now Americans can buy and sell the crypto currency officially. This will benefit the development of the Crypto-currency.

In the United States only accredited investors can be offered private placements of securities, and the onus is on the issuer to ensure that only accredited investors take part, lest they expose themselves personally and their company to potential criminal liabilities in the United States. Some ICO use geolocation to block US citizens, but those can be bypassed with a proxy or VPN, but it's not legal. |

For now, it seems most ICO will exclude China and the United States, since both countries have banned the ICO project, which is clearly not conducive to the development of ICO.

A lot of ICO restrict US citizens or residents, I think is due to the nature of taxation and US authorities cold views on crypto coins.

Singapore's financial regulator has announced a partnership with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to discuss the establishment of the DAO and ICO tokens. This happened August ..
As before, they still continue to consider the case of ICO by case, and for companies running ICO campaigns to be honest when dealing with investors and not scams.

As far as I know, American citizens cannot participate in the ICO crowdfunding, because the law can define the ICO as illegal.

Because the government cannot control ICO , because a democratic government is free enterprise in their statement that they will just urging the company to be honest in running ICO in dealing with investors is mere warning,the government will only intervene in case of scam because they can go after them because there is a law against pilferage that can be used for scammers, the purpose of US security and exchange commission is for the protection of their citizen against scam. |

US were the first to ban ICOs so no, but you can always get them when they hit the exchange or other means.

The government of China and US only wants to protect is citizen from being involved in ICO the are produce in the market just to scam people, It is open in the market that this is the new way to scam people and its multi million dollars investment in ICO, if an ICO have a citizen restriction then be warned for it may be a scam. |

The us government wants to regulate the investment industry in the ICO. Only after that, citizens of usa will be allowed to officially participate in the ICO. Now there is a lot of deception in the industry, investing in ICO is very risky.

I also think that the government of the United States of America protects its citizens from scam ICO projects. I think it's good, because now ICO in a lot of scam. |
