So they do it when they owe you money and there is an incentive for you to comply. While they comply with under age gambling via all the background checks you don't see upon that first deposit (checking electoral role and a whole host of other publically available data in less than a second - they don't just rely on you being honest about your date of birth!), production of the documents is all about preventing charge backs, not about verifying your age.
