You don't need to use a comma before "because", since it starts a new clause in which the purpose is to give reasons.

When do I need to use a comma before “because”?

A comma before "because" is used when the clause isn't crucial.
    Examples:
        1. "I didn't go to the party, 
             because I was unwell."
        2. "She stayed, because she 
            enjoyed the conversation."

No comma before "because" is used when the information is essential.
    Examples: 
        1. "He couldn't attend because of 
            another commitment."
        2. "They left early because they 
             had an appointment."

The comma signals the clause's importance in relation to the main idea.

Use a comma to separate independent clauses

 Only when the comma causes ambiguity, otherwise we don.t use  a comma before because usually
