What do you think about private pools? Would you invest in ICO through private pools for getting more bonuses or it's too risky and most of them scam?

what do you mean private polols
or you mean about private sale in ico project
if you buy ico in early you can get big bonus and discount

Mean private pools. Public pools help to get big bonus too, but why people like private?

Investing in ICO itself is already a big risk and I don't want to take more risk by giving my money to others and wait for them to send my coins.

This may work if any trusted member you know is running the pool otherwise better don't take a risk for some additional benefits. There are many scams these days online so people will be waiting for making an easy money from other people money. You should be very careful before joining these pool investments.

When we started to make a rating, we thought that we would be looking for reliable pools in the sea of the scum and rating them. But it turned out that the situation in the pool market is much better than it seems (You can read about it in our market overview https://medium.com/@ICOpools_io/ico-pools-market-overview-546142230277 ) . We for ourselves unofficially divide the pools into 4 groups:
1. Legal pools. They have a legal entity, a website, all participants undergo the KYC procedure, often such pools have an almost flawless history of successful rounds and distributions. The risks of investing through them are minimal.
2. Semi-legal old pools. Without legal and KYC, but with a good history of successful rounds and distributions. Risks are still not very large, but problems with the law are possible.
3. Young pools with a good history. They do not have many distributions, but high efficiency and generally no complaints. The risks for investors are average.
4. New pools without distributions or pools for which complaints are received. Such pools should be treated with caution, but so far complaints with suspicion on the scum were received only by 2 pools (out of 200).
So statistics is not so bad, but it's a crypt market, you can trust only yourself and https://icopools.io/en/
