In my opinion, almost most of the ICO listing sites are just there, they just want to profit, any project if they pay higher, then they will give ICO a better rating

read your article, thanks for the information. A fairly well-known site in the crypto community. Is there a comment from the ICOBench?

I think that you can not trust such sites at all, almost all of them sell their reviews. Sorry people who fall into this trap.

I've heard before about it, thought it's just competitors trying to ruin it. But yeah, seems like Icobench's ratings are fake, though I barely made decision of investing by their ratings.

Yes you may be right. We are gradually seeing more light into these ICO listing sites that just rate ICO based on how much they are paid and not based on the legibility and how effective the project is. So many of them have lost their integrity. Care needs to be taken before following ICO listing sites. That is why it is very much important to analyze projects by yourself.

Is there any ICO-review site that does NOT offer payed exposure and higher ratings for ICOs that pay them money? I know, they need some money to cover website hosting and pay their staff, but they could get that money from traditional ads on the side of website.

I've never liked the icobench website.
The site's ICO rating is pretty bad, and most of the time, some shit coin has a high score.

Thank you for the info. There are many good ICOs that only got low rating on ICObench like bob's repair, helbiz and traxia while some scam ICOs got high rating. That's why i've never trusted high rating ICOs on ICObench in the first place. In the end, we have to do our own research before investing in an ICO project.

heard this news, very regretted. Although I have made this site my reference in choosing a new ICO Project.
And with this happening, it seems like we should be more careful in choosing a project, even if it has a good ranking, can not guarantee that the project could also end up with fraud.

I was observing one project there few days ago and it got rating as I remember 4.5. After few days the rating changed from 4.5 to 3.8 only due to "Benchy". I understand that the bot makes daily check, but what should happen to make such a big change? The opinion that the rating depends on a package you bought is close to the truth...

Did not know all these negative about icobench. Add one more to this list that is their ICO ratings are usually not good or reliable. Only use it to check information about an ICO and its website and not their opinion about it.

Great info. From my experience in ICO, I have look that ICO with great rating on ICOBench is not always success.
I have joined a bounty that the rating of ICO on ICOBench is very low, but the ICO very success, they get their softcap.
And also I have joined a bounty that rating is very great more than 4 stars, but why the ICO is failed. They not reached the softcap.
Than, I never make ICOBench as one of my point to identify ICO is great or not.

It is quite unfortunate that ICOBENCH has been compromised by desperate ICOs who are bent on getting advertisements and promotions at all cost without following  due process.
This is a deceitful way of scamming potential investors who visits this site to read reviews and ratings of  upcoming and present ICOs.

This is sad because icobench is one of the sites I personally trust. Thank you for sharing this very useful information. Knowing this made me more aware of projects to participate. Recently, I have been dependent to ico rating sites but fortunately I haven't encountered scam projects yet. This is a good warning to all of us. I could still rely on ico rating sites but maybe not completely which I used to do.

thats why i dont trust any ico rating. I prefer to read the whitepaper in my own than rely on thier rating that obviusly run to just  accomalte money for ico to list in thier website.
