I transferred $500 worth of BTC from Coinbase to an online casino. No problems.
After several weeks of gambling, with a $48 profit, I withdrew the funds into my Coinbase BTC account.
I received a Warning notice from Coinbase saying that I need to use the correct network or I could lose my funds.
However, there were no options available when I made the transfer.
It's been several days, and all the money has been withdrawn from my online casino account, but I didn't receive it in my Coinbase account.

I've never experienced this before. Is this new?

That's weird, if you send it to a bitcoin address then the coind should be in that address, and if you send it to another network but to a bitcoin address, then the exchange should have the private key to that address, so, they should be able to recover those coins.

But is weird, the exchange should give a warning, something like "not valid address", i mean, you can't send BTC to a Dogecoin Address (That's just an example), But contact support on Coinbase, for sure they should be able to help you.

You are right, even if we transfer bitcoin to the wrong network, our bitcoin will still be transferred to Coinbase wallet. But the thing is, this is a rule, and they have warned and emphasized this to users before. If the user is wrong, the user is fully responsible and they will not help to get those bitcoins back even though they can do it easily.

This is the rule of most centralized exchanges for all coins, not just Bitcoin and Coinbase, and if we are careless, we will pay the price for our actions.

Yes, the only thing OP can do is contact the exchange support but I don't think they will help him since that is already the exchange policy. I have met some people in the same situation as OP on other exchanges but it seems they can't get their money back either.

Exactly, Coinbase might just ignore because they have already given him warning that he wants to use the wrong network. Since they stated it that sending coins to the wrong network means that you will lose your coins will give them the boldness to seize your coins. However, some exchange will not accept your transaction when you want to use the wrong network. OP, should see what he can do to get back his bitcoin but has 50/50 chance.
