There is not a single rule, because whether you use a comma with "because" and where you would use it depend on how you are using "because".
The first sentence is an example of a common situation, in which "because" introduces a dependent clause. In this situation, you use a comma before "because".
In some situations, you don't need any commas:
The game was delayed because of rain.
Because his interview was the best of the lot, he was our first choice to fill the position.
In other situations, you would put a comma both before and after "because":
I have to cancel our lunch, because, as it turns out, I will be in Helsinki.
