But the truth is if ico rating websites don't request money for listing and rating tokens how will they survive? money will always be involved because they will never do all that for free
Those that needs to wise up about this are newbies indeed, many people on this forum knew that ico rating websites are deceiving but what about newbies? i hope this gets to them as soon as possible, some good regulation is really needed in this space, i belief its the only solution to turn to
Yes, you're right. We should not really trust rating service providers. Because the ratings they give are not necessarily commensurate with the work of the developer.
At the beginning they were there, I followed their reference, and I have been trapped in the project 3 times that did not provide any benefit. Since then I have not believed in ico rating website. Because there are two different times between the first time listing on the ico rating that the details they can makeup and the second time is where the project is completed during the ico period and the original price is seen in the market and under the guise of the developer.

I never believe these ICO "benchmark" "review" sites. Calling it a "benchmark" is extremely misleading since there is no benchmark but rather it comes down to how much you trust the site.
The first thing that rushed to my mind when I first saw these sites was "I bet people just buy good reviews" many of the reviews make no sense and they go on and on and on about things they consider innovative but actually like most ICO are really just empty promises that will crumble under their own weight.

This is a warning to all newbies that seek help from ico rating websites when they are looking for projects to invest money on..
Facts
- You have good money to pay? you will get good rating on the platform, this is the way of ico rating websites
- Good projects can get bad rating on them, and that doesn't mean they are bad project..
For example, you must have been hearing about how successful gowithmi project was right? check out the rating on icobench using the link below.
https://icobench.com/ico/gowithmi
The score is 3.3 where as projects that have better rating turned scam as well, all i am saying is its better to rely more on your own research and not rating.

Ratings on websites such as ICObench and the like do not reflect good or bad a project. Many projects have high ratings but their performance after entering the market is not good or sometimes many are scam. In my opinion, the research itself is more convincing that we decide to invest, one of which is about partnership
A high score on the ICO platform revew is not a guarantee if the project is original or will be successful. All can be manipulated with money. Scammers now have a lot of money to pay anyone to look authentic and can drain investors' money.
But for icobench.com, you can report it directly to the telegram discussion group
icobench if the project listing on icobench.com is proven false with some of the evidence you have. If it is proven to be false they will respond and usually in the scam project thread will be discussed more clearly.

Ico rating websites are all controlled by humans like you so expect some shady business from them because for humans its always about the money, i was a fool when i always look for good rating projects on icobench but not any more ,thanks
http://More rating websites have come into existence with domain names that looks catchy to make people go through and have a glance over different listed projects with schedules of launch. As all of us know, end of the day each and everything is connected with money. Here too same is the fact, in this we cant blame them. They get paid and list it, and it is our responsibility to have a perfect research and do the investment over the right projects. 
I do not believe in Web ICO rating like that. Yesterday I heard from my friend that the platform is pay to win where there is money rating would be good.
So I could not underlie to analyze the ICO or coin of a rating site like that. And we need to stay alert to the given platform.

That's like an open secret. A good rating is not a guarantee that the project is legitimate and promising, as the OP explained, the rating can be manipulated with money. Initially, I did not believe until I felt it myself when I joined the Hashcard, which had an almost perfect rating with a very promising explanation, but it turned out to be a scam. Since then I no longer use the rating website as a reference and choose to do an independent analysis.
All these rating platforms are just a plot to make investors believe the project is a good one since it has been 'reviewed' by experts. These days ratings are not guarantee of project's success or even team integrity.

ICO rating sites do not research the project, look at the project in just 2 minutes and give the value they want. While they try to be the first, they actually screw up their vision. Now I can not prove it, but several times I have seen that they have listed the scam projects. Even, they are so far away from these issues that, although someone gave the opinion about scam project, no one has updated the page. These sites only work to find the names of projects, just trust yourself in the research theme. Facts

now the project that initially looked good then turned into a scam project. gowithmi used to look promising and looked successful. Even though it's already on icobench.com, it's not necessarily a good project. You can report it if it is proven to be a scam so you can delete it and mark it on icobench. Scam projects must be destroyed.
I have never used ICOBench or similar websites to find the best projects, because some of the ICO list in there are endorsement products (they are paid to give good ratings) and the rest are fake ratings. Why did I say "Fake Rating"? As OP said, although some ICO have bad ratings but the fact is that after the platform is launched they can be successful. But on the contrary, platforms that have good ratings are actually scams.

The way i view icobench its like all good projects have bad rating, if i were you i will focus more on the less rated projects, all projects that are rated over 3.5 are mostly crap Facts

I never really believe in those ratings anyways, I always don't even remember to check any project out on those sites, i remember GMAT bounty, did only week 1 and left for another bounty i thought would be better but i was wrong, gmat was a huge success and i really regretted leaving that bounty,
Maybe only newbie will still pay attention to those rating sites.

OP is absolutely correct! crypto investors should not depend their judgement on icobench because the ratings can be faked but they can use this as a reference and if you think that the project is profitable then you must conduct a thorough investigation to avoid getting scammed by fake projects. Never rely your decision on a mere rating sites and get more information as much as possible.

You are absolutely right, ico ratings site should not be relied upon for better judgment to invest, I participated in the GoWithMi bounty honestly I was too hurry to sell, so I miss out when that token did x10 on Gate.io, it would have been my best bounty so far but I didn't use the opportunity well, I thought it was the usual list and token dump kind of project but GMAT was different,
I remember someone ask one of the admins on their telegram group why they aren't in any ico rating sites, and the admin respond we interested in buying rating, it was a clear message.
There were scam accusations ragarding some ICO bench advisors which they were asking 3eth for ratings and reviews. Gowithmi probably didn't pay for it that it only got 3.3 to its rating. This thread is just one example of ICO bench accusation https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/icobench-adviser-douglas-lyonsasking-3-eth-for-fake-rating-5065117
I'm not sure either whether gowithmi had been successful today but I can see they were doing good for their investors and the working product is already launched.

Gowithmi still doing better, this one was one of the most successful IEO on Gateio launchpad! But Icobench experts gave negative ratings. Seems you are right that icobench only gives a high rating if they project to pay them. I asked about Sero's negative rating in the Icobench telegram group, they started talking shit that it's because of Bot! Seriously! Icobench is a greedy and scammer platform nowadays. Everyone needs to just neglect this site, as the crypto market has many icorating websites!
I do not know icobench and others, I followed the project based on my own research and not with the site you intended. but by the way, as far as I know Gowitmi was a successful project, many thought at the beginning that Gowithmi was a SCAM but in fact Gowithmi was successful and not scammed.
if you think Gowithmi SCAM, then I'm interested in comparing your biggest income from an ICO project in 2018-209, say now.
and compare your most successful projects with the Gowithmi project.
