Do you trust ICO Rating sites?

[coinholic]

They seem biased to me. A friend of mine who's doing an ICO told me that they paid 10ETH for 5 quality ratings and that's that! I noticed that some ICOs with good project, team, and good social media presence are struggling with getting good reviews.

With all that said, should it still be a factor to look at when investing in ICO?

Just like any other businesses, ICO rating sites/platforms are paid services. It's all about the good words they will put into these ratings. I mean, just think about it, why would they say anything negative about an ICO that paid them? Of course its biased! They were paid to be. It's simple logic.

Check out some Telegram channels and you'll see a bunch of these rating sites and marketing proposals. These people don't do free service. Everything is with a fee...

So do I trust ICO rating sites? Not really. But I still check on their data for minimal reference.

I did not trust ICO rating websites, I thought this all is fake and scam! But One day I got a 100% confirmation that Icobench, Icoalert websites are very good. Their rating system is very good, Icobench is the top level of Ico rating website! Now, I trust Icobench ICO ratings and I found it very helpful!

I am not trust any ico rating websites because i know 95 percentage of these websites working for money. and you can not be trust these websites for investing money. Please dont do that.
Everybody need to investigate icos before investing.

There's only one of them that working based on the community's choice. remember about the fact that we have an article that has proven the majority of ico rating sites are manipulating their rating. I can try to take a conclusion based on that article if there were more than 99% of icorating site that manipulating the result of rating in any ico.

There are still some ICO rating site which still offer free service and there some which offer pay services either but i believe the ICO rating site rate projects base how people in the cryptocurrency world will welcome the project  and traffic which is why alot of new project offer airdrop. However, there some ICO owner who know how to manipulate the rating.

Everything in crypto presently is about how much bitcoin or ethereum you are prepared to pay, over half of those ico rating site are only there for cash, on the off chance that you need to get great rating pay higher measure of bitcoin or ethereum. It's despicable in any case, they are simply deceptive crypto financial specialists, so I don't trust them. I have seen some ico that got a decent appraising on theese rating site however wound up been a trick yet there are some bona fide ones however

[jdnthny]

In my case, Yes I somehow and somewhat trusting those ICO review and rating websites because most of them are already being trusted by many crypto-enthusiasts in choosing the ICO that they will be investing with, and also to those who are bounty hunters they also rely on the rating that this websites are giving as their criteria of participation to a specific ICO.

When we start participating in ICOS investment campaigns, the evaluation of trust ICOs rating sites is very necessary and important to give us an overview of it. I believe the trust ICO rating sites as it is a factor in the market's confidence level.

Yes, I look at the ratings of projects on such sites.  But I will not say that 100% trust the analysis of sites.  I rely more on my own study and on the objective opinion of my like-minded people.

[Ellen Jesslyn]

I still believe it but do not trust 100%. I treat it as a source for reference information and that is not the source for me to evaluate a single ICO.

[John Emst]

Honestly, depending on which sites. In general, it is hard to rely only on ratings. Before investing, I need to study the market in detail, I think. Understand the whole system of work. And ratings on the site can be as an additional criterion.

I think the data published by the ICO evaluation website is not necessarily true and reliable.

Ico rating its just one of the place u need to check out bro,no one knows 100% And still its an investment so there still risk in anyway

[manyexp]

This year, most projects that received good scores on the ICO evaluation website were dumped.
The ICO  evaluation website is also a reference and does not need to be trusted.

Not all sites offer excellent projects, many sites work on the projects themselves , and receive profits or special payments from them , it is best to be trained on ICO projects.

Ratings do not check any data about the projects. They just post something and never change it. Some of ICOs may change the data about the project every day, while ratings do not care about it at all. In addition, they do not show their funding and do not mark all the paid advertisments.

[GeorgeGriffin]

If you are going to invest in ICO, then you need to conduct your own analysis, because such sites ICO rating can not be trusted ...

I completely agree. Because fraudsters buy advertising in rating agencies. You should always think and analyze with your head this will save a lot of money.

[Pikachu18]

I don't trust any of them because they can make the fake rating. I only do believe in own researcher. You could lose money if you believe them. Anyone can be made fake reviews and good rating. There are lots of sites, they have provided good Ico with ratings and Reviews. You can use them only for your research purposes but think about 40% of true reviews. You could look their social media for research.

[Ravenangel]

Actually not much, but they certainly have their usefulness, I only analyze the overview they do, that helps me decide if a campaign is worth further investigation or not, if it looks like a solid project I keep investigating, but the scores that give I know they are not very reliable, because you can increase them if you pay enough.

[halpi]

I do, especially when all rating tell the same. But to rely only on ICO ratings is a bad idea because it is true and proven fact that some ratings could be bought. So the best analysis to look at ICO accelerators, then make own decision

[robelneo]

I don't look at them at all, I prefer to look at the scam section of this forum for any bad feedback and comments of the members on their chat channel and their official thread than looking at this rating sites that could give unbiased reviews because some of them offer premium advertising.
