But he will still have to CONTRACTUALLY check your references, if that is what the contract with his client asks for.

Agencies will still want and need (depending on the client) to check that you have actually worked places to verify your CV is truthful. In addition, references are valuable as leads for them. It's nice to give them a couple when they get you a good gig.

By opting out they no longer need to have proof of the above.
This does not mean that the client does not want to see references before signing the contract. If that is the case send your refs direct to the client.
