To restrict to gmail must have a specific use case scenario, so typically you just want to write a regular expression. – Tom Stickel Nov 19 '13 at 08:16

You can accept gmail like this below, notice I added in for it to ignore .org and .net as well you can keep tweaking your regex to exactly how you want it.
\w*\@(?!org)(?!net)[g][m][a][i][l]
Edit based on Sparky's : CASE -- Uppercase and 3 letter email name @gmail.com
$(document).ready(function () {
jQuery.validator.addMethod('gmail', function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-z0-9](\.?[a-z0-9]){3,}@[Gg][Mm][Aa][Ii][Ll]\.com$/i.test(value);
}, "not a valid Gmail email address");
$('#myform').validate({
rules: {
field1: {
required: true,
gmail: true
}
},
submitHandler: function (form) { // for demo
alert('valid form');
return false;
}
});
});

Take the Gmail regex from this answer and use it within the addMethod method to create a new custom rule called "gmail"...
jQuery.validator.addMethod('gmail', function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-z0-9](\.?[a-z0-9]){5,}@gmail\.com$/i.test(value);
}, "not a valid Gmail email address");
$("#myForm").validate({
rules: {
myemail: {
required: true,
gmail: true
}
}
});
It does not matter if you call .validate() before or after the .addMethod() method.

You have to write a regular expression that accepts strings ending with 'gmail.com'
Check here for regex on Gmail address:
Regular Expression - Validate Gmail addresses
Check here on how to add regexp validation:

It didn't work actually, sorry. I updated my answer with a question that was already solved on stackoverflow. – Ulugbek Nov 19 '13 at 09:15
