1. A computerized method for facilitating a user's action at a terminal at a terminal location, the method comprising:
receiving from a user device, data identifying a physical ticket associated with a bet placed by an anonymous user, wherein the physical ticket is not associated with any pre-established user account, wherein the anonymous user is entitled to collect winnings derived from the bet;
receiving a request from the user device to perform an action including collecting the winnings;
receiving from a computerized device located at the terminal location, data indicative of a user device's location;
determining if the user's device location and the terminal location meet a sufficiently close criterion indicative of close distance of the anonymous user to the terminal, and if in the affirmative, granting the request;
thereby enabling the anonymous user to collect the winnings directly using the physical ticket and only when located within the close distance to the terminal.
