I think they give more guarantee for you. But not 100%.

[steins19]

These sites are mainly affect the investors mind set about crypto. So basically these sites are paid by different ICO camps to give them high rating in order to make their name interesting in the eyes of the investors.  Because of this bad system that currently occurring in the market a lot of scams where perfectly executed and destroyed many lives of investors.

No rating are bullshit of course!!!  . I strongly recomand you to not invest based on a rating. there is a business to pay to have grade in ICObench for exemple. And it is very subjective IMO.
for exemple, crypto compass provides research on ICO, they do not give a rate/note. if interested the link is https://www.crypto-compass.io

Not really,I take a look at rating before taking a desicion to participate in particular ICO but there's no any  guarantie that the current project's rating has not been paid by its own devs.

[george_hured]

I do not believe these sites that give ratings, simply because, on the whole, this sphere can not be honest, well, or because people have such an opinion and only a correct evaluation of projects can really fix the situation, but now my opinion is definitely not to believe these resources. Because they can be bought, or rather their opinion and their evaluation.

For me ICO Ratings is a good guide that we can check if an ICO is good to invest or not, its still best to make our own research and dig more deeper with the project and team before we invest because no matter how big the ratings are if they want to scam us we can't do anything about it.

I don't trust those ICO rating sites, because you can easily get listed by paying some money. I wonder how many out there actually a real review instead of advertising purpose. However, before joining an ICO, do your own research. It will save you from getting scammed.

[klepikolse]

ICO rating sites are interested in two things: sorting out absolute scam (which isnt that hard) and advertising ICOs that have a good potential to grow. The market is so unstable that any ICO can be a failure, and the market will understand it. But scams and 10x-100x will always be remembered.

[Wallytred]

All those ratings based only on the opinion (or interest) of a certain person, while any ICO is like a lottery nowadays. No one know what happen tommorow. Even the developers themself.

Yes, many ico’s didn’t reach soft cap instead of  high ratings. However, a really good ico project can’t get a low rating, for example 2 or 3.

I check this sites of ICO rating, and consider their ratings about the projects but I am also doing my own careful research before investing or participating in its bounty campaigns. There are some sites (like ICObench) giving good rating based in many essential factors, like the team, the concept, the project's website and so on, it helps surely to get real idea about any ICO project.

[varun bee]

actually its good for referencing icos in general. believing ico rating can be pretty dangerous because there is no mechanism to check the authencity of the ratings, & also the no. of rating websites have cropped up is pretty huge so to bifurcate paid from non paid reviews/ratings is getting harder day by day. They are useful tools in sorting out some legit icos from complete scam, believing them can be very damaging, specially financially.

[Lari.Dronov]

In our life nothing can be trusted, everything must be checked. For example, I personally checked the Enlte, I wanted to learn more about it. here are the ratings for her relevant.

[Iyanu14]

Ico rating can't be used to judge project most time ico review are biased and what if they are paid to rate them high to attractive massive investors therefore i don't believe in ico ratings.

[dolcefarniente]

I'm looking at sites with ICO ratings just to understand which ICOs are currently undergoing. If I'm interested in any project then I will conduct my own research.

[icodoejezo]

I also think you should do your own research, the rating can give some insight. Some rating websites have people who rate the ICO's and are also advisers in the same ICO. So that seems a bit fishy. But at the same time why would they support and invest time in an ICO that is horrible, only for the money? If the ICO is bad, they will not have an income from being an advisor, because they get paid in the ICO token, so if the ICO is bad, their earned tokens are worthless aswell.

[lifetimebitcoins]

yes icorating.com is one of the best coin in terms of rating of coins

[Tlongbottom]

I don’t trust the ratings 100%, but it’s a good reference to have. If it’s not even listed on these sites, it’s an issue. If the ratings and comments from the expert reviews are consistently good or bad, it could be an indicator of the validity of the project. It’s just a piece of the important puzzle that is DYOR. Follow the social media sites, see how active they are. Does the website and white paper look good? Do they have viable product and roadmap? Reading for yourself is good on top of the review sites.

[explosion]

In fact, it's great that there are sites like that. But again, we should use our heads and make a decision based on several sites and maybe even opinions of bloggers who are easier to access and assess. As for me, I reference to the ICO ratings sites but they are not the ultimate point to me.
