I mean no disrespect to you Luke when I say this - but one would think that if Paddy Power has taken the time to do a Press Release on the Facebook betting app - they'd have all the details planned out. One would further think that they have already decided how this is going to affect affiliates.

Channels are betting segments, eg. sports, casino, games, poker, bingo etc, - they are not the transmission methods.
At present my players are tracked and counted whether they bet in-shop (thru account), via the phone, via the website, or via the mobile app. Facebook is just another medium.
I'd struggle to understand or accept any attempts to declare the facebook betting method as "ring-fenced" and not counting for affiliates.
