First prioty always go to ICObench to check whether it has the potential grow more in the market or not. Then I check the trackerico website always to find the review as well mate. Personally I do not be check these rating site and all.
If I want to invest on ICO. I use to check the white paper and complete team information. If you follow up that means alone you will be able to choose the right ICO bro.

ICO rating websites are based on the money spent by the owners but by studying ourselves it is impossible to find the best ICO, but by seeing from the ICO website we can able to find the potential coin and we have to go through the project which will impress us.

You cannot say all the rating site are same mate. Then if they pay and see their signature here and their project on social network means you can understand that project is worthy to invest your hardearned money on that ICO for profit purposes bro.
Then I would use to check the topicolist.com website to get the good ICO projects bro. Upon their listing I can see the legit listing there.

I know that rating site are business oriented. They make offers to developers of each coin for much higher ranking, that’s is always my perception that’s why I don’t rely on them. So I consider those just guide or pattern and I do my own research in the way before investing my hard earned money. Do we really believe in those when we already know the truth that money speaks louder than words for this kind of businesses.

After basing on their ratings to choose a bounty, my conclusion is they are worthless and untrustworthy. I don not rely to their 4-5 star ratings anymore because I always experience those projects getting postponed or cancelled at the middle of their campaign. Most of them are just paid.

Ico rating sites cannot really be trusted as most of them are paid to rate a project higher than it should. Some projects gets high ratings and end up being scam while the less rated projects are doing well in crypto. It is better to do a research about a project before you invest in it.

Maybe there are cases to be like that, but the main purpose of the ICO ratings for each rating site is to give people's idea and some background about that particular coin based on their assessment and speculative ideas through the purpose of each coin and how people or investor adapt on it, it's only a rare case that we say ICO rating is just like a paid advertisement and beside I always still believe and rely on their rating guide before I participate a bounty or doing investment in any ICO.

The trustworthy ICO rating websites are limited, I only trust ICObench and ICOholder, and even after checking the ratings there, I make an additional research to avoid all the risks before investing, or joining the bounty campaign. There is always a risk involved with the ICO investments so we have to study carefully the projects before the investment.

You cant totally call them to be trustworthy fully even though listing of ico is convincing but not totally a valid thing or sure thing to be followed if you are an investor.Additional research should really be needed if you are having a second thoughts on joining up. Our knowledge and research skills will vary and i agree on some dude mention on here that some of them are just shilling out a project because they had been paid and do their job. This is why further research is recommended anytime no matter how popular they are.

ICO rating sites is a good way to start out, when you are looking for information about new projects. I don´t think that ICO rating sites would collude with scammers. However they have their rating systems and they could possibly be gamed by scammers, so at the end of the day you will need to do your own due diligence before you invest in a project.

To buy or not to buy - that is the question ;)

I guess that the question how trustworthy ico rating sites is very difficult, as some just copying others websites, when the rest is just making high ranks as they were paid. So in my opinion better to rely on your own opinion

I think there is no company that specifically oversees ico. this job is good and needed. but I think all that has been answered with there eth smart contract and escrow service.

there is no official oversight but here we will be forced to do our best with our honesty and expertise to be paid by a product or company who judges for those who open the service.

I will strongly recommend you not to believe all those ratings on any ICO site , just use them for reference for upcoming ICOs . some sites have same members who rate high even to low profile projects .
I am not saying you to even dont read , you can read review but also do check all the things about project yourself . collect as much info as you can gain .

i agree because not all reviews that we can find on the net are real, most of them are just a shill or paid/fake review. Much better if we can always check the ico details ourself so that we can be sure if that ico is really legit.

i also notice that there are so many ico rating and ico related services nowadays scattering around the web , these factors can also add to our confusion . I suggest click only on the first page results of google because that is the most reliable source among others.

Ive remembered that i do only make use of Icorating and Icobench and now there are lots of popping out like mushrooms because ico investment is becoming a trend which means investors can really seek out or surf to those sites for finding informations. Even since from the start i dont already have trust into those informations given by them. Manipulation or deception is possible because anything can really be bought for the sake of false advertisement for fraud projects.

I do an assessment of the rating site, because i can not really trust the assessment that has been issued as a recommendation for potential bounty players and investor

I believe it is better to do your own research about a project before you invest in it because some projects do not really worth the rating they get from icorating. Some of them pay to get the rating and some projects that have good rating sometimes end up being scam icos.

I see that a lot of ICO sites are getting paid for reviews, so even if i am using them i make my own research. But sometimes they are very useful.

Some are doing a great job overseeing ICO teams, but how do we prevent collusion?

Just asking

simply nope, but there are legit ones on the list but most on the list of top ICO or hot ICOs are just simply paid these site in order to receive good ratings from the website.
