Because of you is usually followed with more information. Also, it's your fault is usually a negative thing where 'because of you' can be either negative or positive.
It's your fault that I lost the game.
Because of you I lost the game. OR. Because of you I won the game.

Both are correct, depending on context.

Because of you and your weak kicks, we lost the game.

They're both correct, but they're not the same:
-- it's your fault = es tu culpa (eres culpable)
-- because of you ... = gracias a ti ...
