Laravel have great set of email validation tools. Here you can find some detail explanation: https://minuteoflaravel.com/validation/laravel-email-validation-be-aware-of-how-you-validate/

I think that will be enough to prevent most "hackers and robots" emails.

If you still want to accept "gmail.com" addresses only, then you can use, again, laravel ends-with validator:

'email' => ['ends_with:gmail.com', ...]

If you want to be sure that they are real emails then I suggest you implement laravel email verification

For more strict verification you can also use some external services like Mailgun email verification.

To stop bots from signing up, you can integrate a captcha service like ReCaptcha. There are multiple packages which can help you reduce the amount of code to be written. Try having a look at laravel-recaptcha package on Github.

you can use this package for google signup https://github.com/laravel/socialite
