I Love YTtalk
At the moment, being in a network allows you automatically monetize videos you upload on youtube without waiting for adsense to approve. However, that does not protect you from Content ID/third party matches. The youtube system still checks your videos for copyrighted material such as copyrighted music and if there's a content ID match, you won't be able to monetize your video whether you are in a network or not.
Most game developers/publishers don't have content IDs with youtube so no copyright gets detected. That does not make it legal though (unless they give permission for ppl to monetize their content). They can still manually flag your video and give you a copyright strike but usually won't bother due to the large amounts of youtube channels. And most networks won't help you with copyright issues unless you are a very big partner.
And like babyteeth said, on their contract, they say they are not responsible or liable for anything that happens to their partners. So they let you monetize instantly and profit off of you, and if you get banned or sued, nothing bad happens to them.
