They must have a pop-up saying the address error. I can't remember as I forgot if I have ever done that mistake or not.
I believe stake has given you transaction details, at least a tx id? Can you share that? If they really have sent LTC to a random address, they have nothing to do nor they are liable to IMO as it's your mistake.

I even attempted to send LTC on coinbase to a BTC address and it denies it saying that the address is incorrect.
That's coinbase. They have the system that doesn't necessarily mean every other site will have as well. It would be great to have such a feature but it's your responsibility as well.

Nevertheless, if stake has sent LTC to a random address, you are unlikely to achieve anything here.
Here is the transaction information that I have https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/tx/53f9049744ac92de3b7f1ec938e57da33972528950c1dc88ffb423a5b523dbdd/. The BTC address that I submitted was "3PsQaYwXaXnfZUzNPZU2nqo7YuXUEyp8wm".

What was the address that you gave them? And as RapTarX asked what is the TXID that Stake gave you?
As far as I remember Coinbase gives BTC addresses that start with 3 so they would be seen as a valid LTC address.

Side note, but important, Coinbase is known for not liking online casinos, so they will probably be no help.

The BTC address that I inputted in the withdraw field was "3PsQaYwXaXnfZUzNPZU2nqo7YuXUEyp8wm". The address that it was sent to was "MW5YtSMVXee6MzGGVSTNcV3Wsc7vDcrFwg". Here is the link. https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/tx/53f9049744ac92de3b7f1ec938e57da33972528950c1dc88ffb423a5b523dbdd/

Bitcoin and Litecoin has same wallet address format since they are both using the same open source format for network payment. Your Litecoin is indeed on the Bitcoin address that you used buy you must must have the equivalent recovery seed or private key on Litecoin Blockchain in able to retrieve. Stake support is not lying to you there statement. You can send LTC to BTC Address and vice versa but they have a different key on each blockchain so it's very hard to retrieve this money. Sorry for your loss but I hope stake can detect if the address is not in LTC format though.

FYI most Bitcoin wallet can detect if the address is LTC. I wonder how stake do that. OP, can you provide screenshot of your conversation.

Added some screenshots

Hello,

On November 6th, I attempted to withdraw $1650 worth of LTC to my coinbase account. Upon doing so, I accidentally copied my BTC address instead of my LTC address and pasted it into the withdraw address field. I am sure that everyone knows that sending LTC to a BTC address is impossible but it still went through? I reached out to Stake's live support and they stated that since I inputted a BTC address, it would automatically generate a random LTC address and send it to that. Which is absolutely ridiculous because I obviously wouldn't receive the funds. Previously, I recall that it would state something along the lines of.. "This is not a LTC address" and refuse the withdrawal. Stake is refusing to refund my LTC as "they were sent to the address that you have sent to yourself", yet I inputted a BTC address not the LTC address that is listed in the transaction. I even attempted to send LTC on coinbase to a BTC address and it denies it saying that the address is incorrect. The LTC coins are now sitting in the address that was generated randomly.

Online it states that the only reason a LTC to BTC transaction or vice versa would go through is if a broken client was used or else it would return that the address is incorrect. Why am I being punished for a faulty withdrawal system when the transaction shouldn't even have gone through?

There is also no disclaimer stating that inputting a different coins address will push the transaction through with a randomly generated address of the correct coin. There's not even a "This address looks incorrect, are you sure you want to proceed?" or something similar to protect customers from this.

Hope to hear back with a resolution soon.
